Boogie Chillun

Well, my mama didn't 'llow me

Just to stay out all night long, oh Lord

Well, my mama didn't 'llow me

Just to stay out all night long

I didn't care what she didn't 'low

I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people

I was walkin' down Hastings Street

Everybody was talkin' about

The Henry Swing Club

I decided I drop in there that night

When I got there

I say, "Yes, people"

They was really havin' a ball

Yes, I know

Boogie Chillun

One night I was layin' down

I heard mama 'n papa talkin'

I heard papa tell mama

"Let that boy boogie-woogie

It's in him, and it got to come out"

And I felt so good

And I went on boogie'n just the same
