Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu Lyrics
[Intro]
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got-a rockin' pneumonia
And-a boogie woogie flu
Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the gal's too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got-a rockin' pneumonia
And-a boogie woogie flu
I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got-a rockin' pneumonia
And-a boogie woogie flu (Yeah)
[Bridge] (Well alright, yeah)
I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got-a rockin' pneumonia
And-a boogie woogie flu
Baby comin' now, I'm hurryin' home
I know she's leavin' 'cause I'm takin' too long
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got-a rockin' pneumonia
And-a boogie woogie flu
[Outro]
I wanna scream
I wanna scream
I wanna scream
I wanna scream
