(John Lee Hooker & Bernard Besman)



Spoken:

When I first came to town, people

I was walking down Hasting Street

Everybody was talkin' about, Henry Swing Club

I decided to stop in there for awhile

And man, when I got there

Yeah, they were really havin' a ball



Sings:

Well, I feel so good

I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie

Well, to the break of day

(Say, it again)



Well, I feel so good

I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie

Well, to the break of day

(Alright)



When I was a young boy

I was layin' down one night

And I heard ma and pa talkin'

I heard pa tell ma

Hey, come on, let that boy boogie-woogie

'Cause you know it's in him

And it's just got to come out

'Cause it's in him

And it's just got to come out



Well, feels so good, child

I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie

Lord, 'til the break-a day

(Chillen, I'm chillen here)



Well, feels so good, now Lord

I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie

Yeah-ow, 'til the break of day
