(boogie intro)
Now, an my baby went out
An` stayed out all night long
She never came home
Until the break of dawn
C`mon, shake yo` boogie
Whoa, shake a-yo` boogie
C`mon, shake a-yo` boogie
Because your boogie`s alright wit` me, yeah
I`m goin` to buy me a dog
On a wired nose
I even kill a man
About my jellyroll
But c`mon, shake a-yo` boogie
Oh, shake a-yo` boogie
C`mon an shake a-yo` boogie
Because yo` boogie`s is alright wit` me
`Alright, John`
(harmonica & instrumental)
Oh, but look-a-here, baby
See what-a you`ve done, done
You taken my money
You got me on a bum
C`mon shake a-yo` boogie
Whoa, shake a-yo` boogie
C`mon an shake a-yo` boogie
Because yo` boogie alright wit` me
You know, me an my baby
Don`t do nothin` but fuss an fight
I said, `Look-a-here, baby
Things ain`t goin` on right`
But c`mon, shake yo` boogie
Oh, shake a-yo` boogie
C`mon an shake a-yo` boogie
You know, yo` boogie alright wit` me, now
`Ride! Take it away, Lacey`
(harmonica & instrumental)
I don`t need no steam-heatin`
By my bed
The little girl I got
Keep me, cherry red
But c`mon shake a-yo` boogie
Whoa, shake a-yo` boogie
C`mon an shake a-yo` boogie
Because yo` boogie`s alright wit` me
`Now John, I got it this time by myself`
(harmonica & instrumental to end - but not John)
