Yeah, I like to rock and I like to roll Most of all, darlin', I like to ball Boogie feels good and good in my heart Makes me so good I don't think I'll stop When I get to feelin' good I shake my thing I get to feelin' good, forget about everything I just get a booie deep down in my soul I'm not afraid to react, not afraid to let go I'm from Detroit where the boogie was born I been boogie'n since '51 Taught to me by a fellow named John 'Corner of brush in '51' – say boogie baby Don't be afraid, get a little closer, you know what I mean Yes, I keep a woman because she has my child I keep a girl, she's got my child Some of the things she does just make my mind go wild I tell her back off, sometimes she don't hear I tell her : 'Get back, baby' – sometimes she won't hear Then she gets a little push, I make my position clear Look out, baby, I'm like a train conductor, baby When it comes to my life I'm like an airplane pilot, darlin' When it comes to my life I kick you off my flight if you keep on givin' me jive.
