Bill Haley And His Comets Birth Of The Boogie Lyrics

Birth Of The Boogie Lyrics

Boogie, boogie woogie 

 The boogie-woogie-woogie beat 

 Down in Africa, many years ago 

 There lived a little fella named Zulu Joe 

 He took his tom-tom, a great big stick 

 And that was the birth of the boogie lick 

 Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie 

 Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie 

 Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat 

  

 Then Joe got hip and he started to sing 

 The animals flipped and began to swing 

 Monkey, elephant, kangaroo 

 They all picked up on the boogie too 

 Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie 

 Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie 

 Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat 

  

 Well, the animals a-boogied all over the place 

 The rabbit spit in the bulldog's face 

 Joe kept a-beatin' till the early morn' 

 And that's when the boogie-woogie was born 

 Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie 

 Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie 

 Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
