Shakin Stevens Shotgun Boogie lyrics

Standin' in here on the corner
With the barrel so straight
I looked over the fence
And over the gate

Picked a fat rabbit
He was sittin' in the grass
Wait'll he hears my
Whole shotgun blast

Shotgun boogie
Oh, shotgun boogie
Oh,shotgun boogie makes me
Boogie woogie all the time

Well, I met a pretty girl
She was tall and thin
Asked her what she had
She said, "A Vox 410"

I looked her up and down
And said, "Boy this is love
We headed for the bush
To shout a big fat dove"

Shotgun boogie
Oh shotgun boogie
Look out mister rabbit
Because they're gunnin' you
Oh, look out

Sat down on a log
And took her in my lap
She said, "Now wait a minute, honey

You got to see my pap"

He's got a sixteen gauge
Tall gun like a rifle
He don't like men that's gonna trifle
Shotgun boogie makes me
Boogie woogie all the time

Well, I called on her pappy
like a gentleman oughta
He said, "No brush hunter's
Gonna get my daughter

He cocked that gun
Right on the spot
But when the gun went off
I outran that shot

Oh, shotgun boogie
Oh shotgun boogie
I wanted wedding bells
And not your pappy's shells

Oh, shotgun boogie makes me
Boogie woogie all the time

Oh, he was shooting low honey
Oh, he got me on that second shot
Ooh, I got it but I'll be back
I only wanna talk
