Boogie Woogie Man

Intro

[Spoken] "Now when the lights go down low..."

[Spoken] "...you gonna hear him comin'"

Verse 1

There's a figure on the keys when the clock strikes midnight tight

Left hand walking slow and mean, stealing all your light

He don't knock upon the door, no, he slides right through the wall

Boogie woogie man is coming, gonna get you, one and all

Pre-Chorus

Hush now baby, don't you cry

He's just a rhythm passing by

(passing by, passing by)

Chorus

I'm the boogie woogie man, I'm the boogie woogie man

Got a rhythm running wild you never understand

Left hand walking, right hand grinning wide

Boogie woogie man is dancing right by your bedside

Verse 2

Every creaking floorboard's got a rhythm of its own

Every hush inside the house, he ain't never quite alone

He's been walking basslines since the world was cold and young

Every haunted house got a boogie woogie hung

Pre-Chorus

Hush now baby, don't you cry

He's just a rhythm passing by

(passing by, passing by)

Chorus

I'm the boogie woogie man, I'm the boogie woogie man

Got a rhythm running wild you never understand

Left hand walking, right hand grinning wide

Boogie woogie man is dancing right by your bedside

Verse 3

Every party's got a moment when the needle starts to skip

That's when he comes calling, with a wink and with a grip

You can run but you can't hide from a groove that knows your name

Once he's got you walking basslines, you'll never be the same

Bridge

[Spoken] "Now when I tell you to hold yourself, don't you move a peg"

[Spoken] "And when I tell you to get it, gonna boogie till you beg"

Every joint gonna rattle, every board gonna moan

This ain't no lullaby, child — this the boogie woogie's throne

Solo

Final Chorus

I'm the boogie woogie man, I'm the boogie woogie man

Got a rhythm running wild you never understand

Left hand walking, right hand grinning wide

Boogie woogie man is dancing right by your bedside

(right by your bedside!)

Outro

[Spoken] "Sleep tight now..."

[Spoken] "...if you can"

[Spoken] "Created by DiscoPrincess -- Royalty of the night"
