well not to long ago in 1944
when every mothers son was going off to war
they had to lift there spirits high
for uncle sam ,mother hood and apple pie
instead of spending money that they didn't have
in hot spots in the Bronx
they went to here the kind of jazz
you hear in funkie hunkie tonks
[Chorus:]
it made you want to
jump, shout knock your self out
the boggie-woggie beat is what I'm talking about
if you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
to the boggie-woggie music of piano man will play
and you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
the boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
you could pull a switcheroonie if your belts go down
with the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's going to town
it had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
the plinkin' and the pluckin' drove 'em off the wall
and they would dance and drink their gin
and when the fuzz buzz they joined in
so everybody partied 'till the cows came home
'cause that's what boggie's for
and everynight that dump will jump
and keep them coming back for more
because they make you wanna....
[Chorus]
it made you wanna jump, shout
who wanna jump, shout
you wanna jump, shout
to the boogie-woogie music of a piano man was playing
you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
the boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
you could pull a switcharoonie if your belts go down
to the boogie-woogie beat of piano
shake it yes, yes, yes (repeat 4x )
Come go walkin' with me now
Walk up Avenue C, now
Chicks all lookin' so pretty
They don't give me no pity
Avenue C is the grooviest thing in the city
I never dug
