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
