Boogie, boogie woogie The boogie-woogie-woogie beat Down in Africa, many years ago There lived a little fella named Zulu Joe He took his tom-tom, 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 boogie-woogie-woogie 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 boogie-woogie-woogie beat Well, the animals a-boogied all over the place The rabbit spit in the bulldog's face Joe kept a-beatin' till the early morn' And that's when the boogie-woogie was born Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
