[Verse 1]
Well, you get a couple nickels and you put one in
You lever up the ball and then you grab the pin
You pull it back a little and you let her roll
The rhythm of your body keeps it under control
[Chorus]
You do the pinball boogie
Woo, the pinball boogie
Yes, the pinball boogie
You rattle and shake it 'til it gets in the hole
[Verse 2]
Now if you're weak and hungry and you got no dough
You spare yourself a dime and you forget your woes
Split the dime in two and put a nickel in
And shake it while you watch the little pinball spin
[Chorus]
You do the pinball boogie
Woo, the pinball boogie
Yes, the pinball boogie
You rattle and shake it 'til it gets in the hole
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
One night I had a chance to date a lovely girl
I went into a joint to watch the pinball whirl
I shook it and I took it for ten free games
It wasn't long 'til I forgot about that dame
[Chorus]
We did the pinball boogie
Woo, the pinball boogie
Yes, the pinball boogie
You rattle and shake it 'til it gets in the hole
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Now, it's kind fascinating just to watch it roll
And mighty aggravating when you miss the hole
So wobble it and wag it and you'll learn the trick
A boogie-woogie motion makes the scoreboard tick
[Chorus]
You do the pinball boogie
Woo, the pinball boogie
Yes, the pinball boogie
You rattle and shake it 'til it gets in the hole
[Outro]
You shake it, rattle it
Shake it, rattle it
Shake it 'til it gets in the hole
