Michelle Malone Chattahoochee Boogaloo lyrics

It was a sticky night in June of '85
Down in Macon County
I just turned 16, I was wild and green
And I was looking around for a party

His name was Johnny Rocket, he lived down the block
And he rolled out his Grand Torino
My parents fell asleep, I took my brother's keys
And I crawled out my bedroom window

Chattahoochee cootchie boogaloo
You got what it takes
To shake these awkward teenage blues
Pick me up and throw me down
Take my hand and show me how to
Chattahoochee cootchie boogaloo

We drove to Lake Lurlene out by the Dairy Queen

We had ourselves a good time
A moonlight swim, a toke and some skin
Down underneath the southern pines

We felt like we were grown, the rents would never know
How we solved the mystery of love
But the car keys were gone and the sun was comin' on
I had to call my daddy to pick us up and we were cryin'

Chattahoochee cootchie boogaloo
You got what it takes
To shake these awkward teenage blues
Pick me up and throw me down
Take my hand and show me how to
Chattahoochee cootchie boogaloo
