Don't Boogie Woogie

(专辑： Boogity Boogity - 1974)

I was feeling kind of poorly, ooh
And I hadn't been looking too fine
I just had to find out
What was ailing this body of mine

So I went to my family doctor
To get my temperature and set me straight, hey
And the first thing he did was to tell me to quit
Eating every good thing I ate

Whoa, and then he told me I had to stop smoking, ooh
Lay off of that beer and whiskey
He said, "You need all the help you can get, my friend
And confidentially"

He looked at me, he shook his head
And like a friend, he took my hand and he said, ow

"Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
"I said now, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
"Ooh, you've been over-rocking and that ain't right
You better turn on the Lord when you turn out your light
I said, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)

Then he wired me up like a spaceman
And he turned on that cardiograph
The needle went out of sight and the doc turned white
And he called in his entire staff
Then he cried out in disbelief, ooh
And told me with stern conviction
He said, "If you don't live right, son, you're gonna die
Of cholesterol constriction"

Yeah, he looked at me, he shook his head
"Here's a prescription that I know you're gonna dread"
Then he said

"Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
"I said now, don't you boogie woogie, say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
"You've been over-rocking and that ain't right
You better turn on the Lord when you turn out your light
I said now, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)

He looked at me and shook his head
"Here's a prescription that I know you're gonna dread"
Then he said

"Don't you boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
"Well, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
"Ooh, you've been over-rocking and that ain't right
You gotta turn on the Lord when you turn out your light
Now don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
