I was a city child with a dead-end smile
A worms-eye point of view
I knew my way, I was a back-street stray
And I had my eyes on you
Now I got this friend, he`s a screwdriver-jiver
You know some kind of automobeat on the street
And he has converted me to rock `n` roll
Now I just wanna dance to, Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don`t worry `bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie, yeah, get in time,
Don`t worry `bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
My hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger
Wanna tell Chuck Berry my news
Now I get my kicks outta guitar licks
And I`ve sold my steel-toed shoes
Now I got this friend and he`s a spider west-sider
You know, he`s hung up on a protection rejection thing
But I have made him see the lights
He just wanna dance to, Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don`t worry `bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie, yeah, get in time,
Don`t worry `bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie yeah, get in time,
Don`t worry `bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie, yeah...
