Well not too long ago in 1944
When
every mothers son was goin' off to war
They
had to lift there spirits high
For Uncle
Sam ,mother hood and apple pie
Instead
of spendin' money that they didn't have
In hot
spots in the Bronx
They
went to here the kind of jazz
You hear
in funky hunky tonks
Chorus:
It made
you wanna
Jump!
shout! knock your self out
The boogie-woogie
beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you
have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
To the
boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
And you
could jump, shout, knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie
beat is what I'm talking about
You could
pull a switcheroonie if you felt low 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, buzzed they joined in
So everybody
partied 'till the cows came home
'cause
that's what boogie's for
And every
night that dump will jump
And keep’em
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 the piano man was playin'
You could
jump! shout! knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie
beat is what I'm talking about
You could
pull a switcheroonie if your felt low down
To the
boogie-woogie beat of piano (laughter)
Shake
it yes, yes, yes [8x]
