We were just a plain old hillbilly band
with a plain old country style.
We never played the kind of songs
that would drive anybody wild.
Played a railroad song
with a stomping beat,
we played a blues song kind
of slow and sweet,
but the thing that knocked
them off of their feet
was hoo -wee.
In a loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
loose -a -plate -a -boogie -woogie,
in a strangest kind of way.
Play it strange.
Well, we did our best to entertain
everywhere we'd go
We'd nearly wear our fingers off
to give the folks a show
Played jump and jive
to make them get in the groove
We played sad songs real
slow and smooth
But the only thing that'd
make them move
was hoo -wee
When Luther played
the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie,
Luther played the boogie -woogie
in the strangest kind of way.
Now, didn't Luther play the
boogie strange?
