Jump Shout Boogie

Well, not too long ago in nineteen forty-four When every mother's son was goin' off to war They had to lift their spirits high For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have In hot spots in the bronx They went to hear the kind of jazz You hear in funky honky-tonks It made you wanna jump, shout, knock yourself out Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about If you had the heebie-jeebies, you could dance away To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin' You could jump, shout and knock yourself out Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall Then they would dance and drink their gin And when the fuzz buzzed they'd join in So everybody partied 'til the cows came home 'Cause that's what boogie's for And every night that dump would jump And keep 'em comin' back for more Because it made you wanna jump, shout, knock yourself out Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about If you had the heebie-jeebies, you could dance away To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin' You could jump, shout, knock yourself out Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull the switcheroonie if you felt low down With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town It made you wanna jump, shout (Foo-der-acka-sacki) Wanna jump, shout (Slip the talcum to me Malcom) You wanna jump, shout (Floy-doy, floy-doy) To the boogie-woogie music The piano man was playin' And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town Shake it, yes, yes, yes Shake it, yes, yes, yes Shake it, yes, yes, yes ...
