Lyrics:

Playing old-time boogie and a young one too
The old folks boogie like me and you
Ain't nobody boogie like a poor boy do
Everybody came travelling from miles around
We'd stop for the boogie, when the sun goes down
 shoes, like a poor boy do

They're all slipping and sliding
they got nothing to lose
They do the shim sham shimmy
____ away those blues
So ____ for the boogie like a poor boy do

I heard papa tell mama, late last night
You're getting too old, for to do the thing right
So we ain't gonna boogie, with a broken light

You can and boogie, have yourself a ball
You can take it, you can break it, or hang it on the wall
You can take it to the top, or bop till it drops

Playing old-time boogie and a young one too
The old folks boogie like me and you
Ain't nobody boogie like a poor boy do
