Lyrics
Hey, this is Boogie Chillen Number 2
I'm going away, babe
But I will be coming back
I'm going away, baby, but I will be coming back
I'm a man now, baby, I sure can have my fun
My baby got something round like an apple, shaped like a pear
Sure now, babe, my baby got something
My baby got something
My baby got something
Man, I sure do love
When I'm a-laying down
I heard mama and papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama
"Let that boy boogie-woogie
He's a man now, let him have his fun
You can't hold him down all the time"
And I felt so good, went on boogie-woogie just the same
Yeah
Hey, boogie chillen
I heard mama tell papa again
"Why you so trill on the boy?"
"I don't know, in my day
A boy don't just run around when they are just 18 an' 19 years old"
But I heard her tell, "Pa' but that boy's a man now"
And I felt so good, went on boogying all night long
