Well not to long ago in 1944
When every mothers son was goin' off to war
They had to lift there spirits high

For Uncle Sam ,mother hood and apple pie

Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have

In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to here the kind of jazz
You hear in funky hunky tonks


[Chorus:]
It made you wanna

Jump! shout! knock your self out
The bogie-wogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away

To the bogie-wogie music the piano man was playin'
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about

You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's going to
town


It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin' and the pluckin' drove 'em off the wall

And they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz, buzzed they joined in
So everybody partied 'till the cows came home

'cause that's what boggie's for
And everynight that dump will jump
And keepem' coming back for more

Because they make you wanna....

[Chorus]


It made you wanna jump, shout
Who wanna jump! shout

You wanna jump! shout
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump! shout! knock yourself out

The boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
You could pull a switcharoonie if your felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of piano (laughter)


Shake it yes, yes, yes [8x]
