Honaloochie Boogie

I was a city child with a dead-end smile And a worm's-eye point of view Oh I knew my way, I was a back-street stray And I had my eyes on you Now I got this friend and he's a screwdriver-jiver You know, some kinda automobeat on the street And he has converted me to rock'n'roll I just wanna dance to Honaloochie boogie yeah Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine Honaloochie boogie yeah You sure started somethin' Now my hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger Wanna tell Chuck Berry my news I get my kicks outta guitar licks And I've sold my steel-toed shoes Now I got this friend and he's a spider west-sider You know, he's hung up on a protection rejection thing But I have made him see the light He just wanna dance to Honaloochie boogie yeah Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine Honaloochie boogie yeah You sure started somethin' Honaloochie boogie yeah Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine Honaloochie boogie yeah You sure started somethin'
