Boogie Woogie from Digital Sculpture by Bat Bennett

Boogie Woogie Bat Bennett

Friday night and I’ve lost my soul
I’m sitting just a-listening to the rock and the roll
I’ve got to split- I get no kick
From the worn out guitar riffs that someone stole

‘Cause I never ever get to Boogie Woogie
I never feel the music like it should be
Listen to the noise of Glen & the Boys blowing that jive
I never shuffle anywhere near Buffalo
Can’t you see it gets me in a ruffle
It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got no swing
Give me Boogie Woogie Noogie yeah

I’ve got a certain somebody I love
Often I need to remind
Dancing together, fingers clasped in satin gloves
Is never far from my mind

Listen to me baby and I’ll make it all clear
If we don’t beat this dive I won’t be able to hear
I want something exciting or I’ll just disappear
Gimme Boogie Woogie Noogie yeah


Come quitting time I’m ready to roam
I’m getting kinda tired by I don’t want to go home
And I get a shot of that wonderful beat
It’s like I got a pair of rockets strapped to my feet
