Boogie Chillun’ Songtext
von John Lee Hooker

Well, my mama didn′t 'llow me
Just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well, my mama didn′t 'llow me
Just 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 Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin′ about
The Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there
I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball

Yes, I know

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
And I went on boogie'n just the same
