Honaloochie Boogie

I was a city child with a dead-end smile
And worm's eye point of view
Oh, I knew my way, I was a backstreet stray
And I had my eyes on you

Now I got this friend and he's a screwdriver-jiver
You know, some kinda automobeat on the street
And he has converted me to rock 'n' roll

I just wanna dance to
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'

Now my hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger
Wanna tell Chuck Bеrry my news
I get my kicks outta guitar licks
And I've sold my steel-toеd shoes

Now I got this friend and he's a spider west-side
You know, he's hung up on a protection rejection thing
But I have made him see the light

He just wanna dance to
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, yeah
You sure started somethin'
