Well my mother didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long

Well my mother didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long

I didn't care she didn't 'low, I would boogie 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, when I got down I said, "Yes, people"

They were really havin' a ball yes, I know boogie chillun



I was layin' down, one night 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, went on boogie just the same
