When you're bad what do they do?
CALL THE BOOGIE MAN
He gives your spirit altitude
He makes you understand
Gotta fever, gotta style, gotta groove
Swing round, so go down

He's the bad cat called Boogie
He's the big cheese
When he blows upon his horn, he brings you to your knees
Preachin' jive and harmony
You break down, so go down

Halleluiah daddy
Boogie is the word
Amen to that jump'n jive
Rock n' roll is heard

I wanna meet the boogey man
I wanna meet his wife
Swinging with the bad cats the rest of my whole life
Don't wanna pay no tax, don't want my preacher to know
So daddio
Lemme go -- SWING!!!!!!!!!

Halleluiah daddy
Boogie is the word
Amen to that jump'n jive
Rock n' roll is heard

I wanna spend eternity, swingin' in boogeyland
So I smoke and drink and fight
Waitin' for the man
Cause if I'm very, very bad
He'll swing round - TAKE ME DO
