Mott the Hoople Honaloochie Boogie Lyrics Mott The Hoople lyrics

I was a city child with a dead end smile
And a worm's eye point of view
Oh, I knew my way, I was a backstreet stray
And I had my eyes on you

Now I got this friend and he's a screwdriver, jiver
You know, some kinda automo-beat on the street
And he has converted me to rock 'n' roll
I just wanna dance to

Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Now get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'

Now my hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger
Wanna tell Chuck Berry, my news, oh, yeah
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 light
He just wanna dance to


Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'

Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Now get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'

Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'

Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'
