Hey, this is Boogie Chillen Number Two!

I'm goin' away, baby.
But I will be comin' back.
I'm goin' away, baby.
But I will be comin' back.
I'm a man now, baby, now.
I sho' can have my fun.

My baby got somethin'.
Round like a apple, an shaped like a pear.
Sure now be.

My baby got somethin'.
My baby got somethin'.
My baby got somethin'.
Man, that I sure do love.

One night I was laying down.
I heared mama an papa talkin'.
I heared 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.'

An I felt so good.
Went on Boogie Woogie'n just the same.
Yes.

Hey, jump chillen!

(Guitar solo)

I heared mama tell papa, again.
'Why you so cruel on the boy?'
'I don't know.'
'In my day, boys didn't go jumpin' around.'
'When they was eighteen or ninteen years old.'
But I heared her tell papa.
'That boy's a man, now.'

An I felt so good.
Went on Boogie'n all night long.
