Well, my mama and my papa took me out one night
They said that we treat me fancy
So I took some dolls and I started to roll my eyes
And to my surprise.
Well, we arrived at the hall that was called a ball
But the people were just romancing
They did a dance called the foxtrot all night long
And there was one thing wrong.
I need old time boogie to rock my soul
Old time boogie to rock and roll.
But the band played on, seemed like one long song
Couldn't get my own feet moving
I prayed and cried for a back beat for my spine
'Cause I was feeling fine.
I need old time boogie to rock my soul
Old time boogie to rock and roll.
Well, so I strolled right across the ballroom bore
And I asked the band if I could sing a little song
I got right on the mike and started to lay it
Right down like this, and this is what I sang, are you listen ?
Old time boogie to rock my soul
Old time boogie to rock and roll.
Old time boogie to rock my soul
Old time boogie to rock and roll.
Old time boogie to rock my soul
Old time boogie to rock and roll.
