BABY WANTS TO BOOGIE
(Shel Silverstein)


Bobby bare - 1976





Come home late, tired and beat
I got a bustin' head and achin' feet
My hand is shaking and my mind’s a mess
Lord, I sure could use a little rest

But baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Boogie boogie all night long

I got trouble with my boss, pain in my chest
Trouble with the man at the IRS
Finance company took my car
I finally realized I won't ever be a star

And baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Boogie boogie all night long

(Instrumental Break)

Police at the back door, salesman at the front
Landlord on the phone screamin' "One more month!"
I've ruined my body, sold my soul
Baby's yellin' "Let the good times roll"

Baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Boogie boogie all night long

Yeah, baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Baby wants to boogie
Boogie boogie all night long

Baby wants to boogie.......FADE
