Bill Haley Birth Of The Boogie (1955) lyrics

Boogie, boogie-woogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat

Down in Africa many years ago
Lived a little fella named Zula Joe
Took his Tom-tom and a great big stick
And that was the birth of the boogie lick

Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat

Then Joe got hip and he started to sing
The animals flipped and began to swing
The monkey, elephant, kangaroo
They all picked up on the boogie too


Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat

Well the animals have boogied all over the place
The rabbit spit in the bulldog's face
Joe kept a beating till early morn
And that's when the boogie-woogie was born

Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
