Lyrics

Boogie Tonight (Rick McGee / Hank Scholz)

V1
Whoa, whoa baby, I see you're alone.
Don't be sitting there by the phone crying your eyes out
You know it don't seem right.
Now don't let a broken heart get you down
You're too young a pretty baby, look around
There's plenty to smile about. C'mon and boogie tonight

CH
Listen up baby, hear what I say
You've had a long, long hard day
Let's shake off the blues, we'll make it alright
I think we ought to have some fun tonight
My baby, you know it's true, I got it bad for you
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight

CH
Listen up baby, hear what I say
I've been waiting, it's getting late
C'mon tonight, just take a chance
Let me show you all about romance, wooo
My baby, you know it's true, I got it bad for you
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight

V2
Hurry up, darlin' the night's getting old
It's time to go out, let's rock-n-roll
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight
Sweet baby, the stars shining bright
The moon's up above I see love in your eyes
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight

CH
Listen up baby, hear what I say
No more hesitating, let's make a date
A new attitude would surely make you smile
Girl, you know I can drive you wild
My baby, you know it's true, I got it bad for you
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight
C'mon baby, we're gonna boogie tonight

ALL INSTRUMENTAL PARTS GREAT! REMINDS ME OF LATE 50s AND 60's ROCKABILLY! GREAT JOB

Nice when you hear a bluesy type of song that still makes you want to get up and dance. Great vocals and arrangement. Great keyboards and guitar work. The brass adds a nice touch.

well done recording and a cool blues tune...
always dig the organ.
