(boogie intro)

Now, an my baby went out

An' stayed out all night long

She never came home

Until the break of dawn

C'mon, shake yo' boogie

Whoa, shake a-yo' boogie

C'mon, shake a-yo' boogie

Because your boogie's alright wit' me, yeah

I'm goin' to buy me a dog

On a wired nose

I even kill a man

About my jellyroll

But c'mon, shake a-yo' boogie

Oh, shake a-yo' boogie

C'mon an shake a-yo' boogie

Because yo' boogie's is alright wit' me

'Alright, John'

(harmonica & instrumental)

Oh, but look-a-here, baby

See what-a you've done, done

You taken my money

You got me on a bum

C'mon shake a-yo' boogie

Whoa, shake a-yo' boogie

C'mon an shake a-yo' boogie

Because yo' boogie alright wit' me

You know, me an my baby

Don't do nothin' but fuss an fight

I said, 'Look-a-here, baby

Things ain't goin' on right'

But c'mon, shake yo' boogie

Oh, shake a-yo' boogie

C'mon an shake a-yo' boogie

You know, yo' boogie alright wit' me, now

'Ride! Take it away, Lacey'

(harmonica & instrumental)

I don't need no steam-heatin'

By my bed

The little girl I got

Keep me, cherry red

But c'mon shake a-yo' boogie

Whoa, shake a-yo' boogie

C'mon an shake a-yo' boogie

Because yo' boogie's alright wit' me

'Now John, I got it this time by myself'

(harmonica & instrumental to end - but not John)
