Say, what kind

VERSE
of beat is that? Man, it real-
ly spins my hat, doesn't
sound like boogie woogie, but it's
really got the beat. Sounds to me
like it's in four, let me hear
it just once more whilst I
latch on to that rhythm, 'cause a
solid four's my beat.

CHORUS
Some folks like to hear eight beat rhythm,
I don't go for that stuff no more,
anytime you really want to send me,
bounce me brother with a solid four.

Come on in, while the whole place is jumpin',
ev'ry body's out on the floor,
if you want to keep the rhythm pumpin',
bounce me brother with a solid four.

The boogie woogie was never like this,
we've got a new beat that no one can miss, if
boogie woogie sent like I think it did,
four to the bar will flip your lid.

Move the tables and roll the rug up,
shut the windows and lock the door,
while I try to dig the "Li'l Brown Jug" up,
bounce me brother with a solid four.
