Birth Of The Boogie - Bill Haley & His Comets

Boogie, boogie woogie! 

The boogiewoogiewoogie beat 
Down in Africa, 
Many years ago 
There lived a little fella 
Named Zulu Joe 
He took his tomtom, 
A great big stick 
And that was the birth 
Of the boogie lick 

Birth of the boogie, 
Birth of the boogie 
Birth of the boogie, 
Birth of the boogie 
Birth of the boogie, 
The boogiewoogiewoogie beat. 
Then Joe got hip 
And he started to sing 
The animals flipped 
And began to swing 
Monkey, elephant, kangaroo 
They all picked up on the boogie too 

Birth of the boogie, 
Birth of the boogie 
Birth of the boogie, 
Birth of the boogie 
Birth of the boogie, 
The boogiewoogiewoogie beat. 
Well, the animals aboogied 
All over the place 
The rabbit spit 
In the bulldog´s face 
Joe kept abeatin´ 
Till the early morn´ 
And that´s when 
The boogiewoogie was born 

Birth of the boogie, 
Birth of the boogie 
Birth of the boogie, 
Birth of the boogie 
Birth of the boogie, 
The boogiewoogiewoogie beat.
