IV. "Long Distance Boogie"
Is everybody feelin´ good? You makin´ us feel good, too!
Now, early this morning I got on that long distance telephone
and I called my mama.
I said, "Mama, this is your boy, and I´m way down here in
New Orleans, Louisiana."
And she said, "That´s all right, boy."
And she turned to my papa and she said,
"Papa, our boy´s way down there in New Orleans.
We cannot let him stay out all night long."
She did!
Long about that time, I heard my papa lean toward my mama.
I heard papa tell mama, "Let that boy boogie-woogie."
He said, "It´s in him and it´s got to come out."
So I went downtown.
There´s a lot of people there.
They was-a really havin´ a ball.
And I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Yes, I felt so good.
Boogie, children!
Boogie, children!
Got to have you, baby, even
though you say that you don´t care.
