Boogie Chillun

John Lee Hooker

(as performed by the Canettes)

[long instrumental intro]

Well my mama didn't 'low me, to stay out all night long
No my mama didn't 'low me, to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low
I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people
I was walkin' down the Rue du Lausanne
Everybody was talkin' about, the Mr. Pickwick Pub
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' fun!

Yes, I know
We just Boogie Chillun

One night I was layin' down,
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie,
It's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good,
I boogied just the same
