Barry Manilow - Jump Shout Boogie lyrics

rate me

Well not to long ago in nineteen forty-four

When every mother's son was goin' off to war

They had to lift their spirits high (High!)

For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie

Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have

In hot spot 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, 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 'till 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 a 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
