Big Mama Boogie

Yeah, I like to rock and I like to roll
Most of all, darlin', I like to ball
Boogie feels good and good in my heart
Makes me so good I don’t think I’ll stop
When I get to feelin' good I shake my thing
I get to feelin' good, forget about everything
I just get a booie deep down in my soul
I’m not afraid to react, not afraid to let go
I’m from Detroit where the boogie was born
I been boogie’n since '51
Taught to me by a fellow named John
'Corner of brush in '51' - say boogie baby
Don’t be afraid, get a little closer, you know what I mean
Yes, I keep a woman because she has my child
I keep a girl, she’s got my child
Some of the things she does just make my mind go wild
I tell her back off, sometimes she don’t hear
I tell her: 'Get back, baby' - sometimes she won’t hear
Then she gets a little push, I make my position clear
Look out, baby, I’m like a train conductor, baby
When it comes to my life
I’m like an airplane pilot, darlin'
When it comes to my life
I kick you off my flight if you keep on givin' me jive.
