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.
