I got a boppin' guitar to take along with me Everytime I take my baby on a rockin' spree When we get to the place where the cats all jive Well, my boppin' guitar brings the joint alive Well, the cat from Memphis set the country afire Shakin' and a-rockin' with his boppin' guitar On every corner throughout the land Without a guitar, well a band ain't a band A sax man, drummer can set off the beat A rockin' piano sounds nice and sweet But something is missing, it ain't complete Till a boppin' guitar sweeps you off your feet Yeah!
