Boogie Woogie Baby

©2017 Garrett Clevenger

 

G    Em  G       Take your baby to the show.      She really wants to go.

G  Em  A  B     She needs to get out on the town          and shake and rattle her bones.

A    G  Em        Take your baby out tonight        and let her feel alright.

G    B  G           When she gets her groove           she turns on her lovelight.

 

G    Em  G       As we’re walking, holding hands,        heading to the show.

G  Em  A  B     We hear a distant trumpet blowin’.      My baby says, “Let’s go!”

A    G  Em        She pulls me hard as she runs               as fast as could be.

G    B  G           Then she says, “Don’t get tired.           We’ve still lots of dancing.”

 

Chorus:

A               My baby likes to boogie woogie         to a rockin’ beat

G  Em  G whether she’s at a bar                        or dancing in the street.

A              Everywhere that she goes,                  music moves her feet.

B               She can’t help but feel the groove      and turn up the heat.

 

G    Em  G       When we walk into the bar                   the band all says, “Hellooo!

G  Em  A  B     We were just warming up.                    Come on now guys, lets go.”

A    G  Em        They belt out a number               no one can deny.

G    B  G           Next thing that I know                I’m nineteen miles high.

 

G    Em  G       My baby glides on over              and gives me a smile.

G  Em  A  B     She spins me round and round   while the band speeds up their style.

A    G  Em        Then they stop completely,                  my baby lets me go.

G    B  G           I can’t stop my spinning             so trumpet starts to blow.

 

{chorus}

 

G    Em  G       Maybe you already know                     what I’m talkin’ ‘bout.

G  Em  A  B     Sometimes you see a band                              and you can’t help but shout.

A    G  Em        You can’t help but show the world      you can bounce and bump

G    B  G           to the beatin’ rhythm that                              makes you shake your rump.

 

Chorus:

A               Do you like to boogie woogie   to a rockin’ beat,

Em            whether you are at a bar                    or dancing in the street?

A               Everywhere that you go,                    does music move your feet?

B               If so, then feel the groove         and turn up the heat.
