We're gonna boogie on down to the Union Hall
Me and Koko and Marcia Ball
You know we're gonna shake it
We're gonna quake it
We're gonna reach for it
We're gonna make it
We're gonna rock round the clock with the old lady blues
Me and Safire and Big Mama too
You know we're gonna shake it
We're gonna break it
We're gonna reach for it
So don't mistake it
Well, seventy-seven beats sweet seventeen
Just ask Etta James or the Swamp Boogie Queen
You know we're gonna shake it
We'll make you ache it
We'll make you reach for it
Anticipate it
Yes, the gospel is good but the blues is divine
And the old women's voices, they sound so fine
When they shake it
They never fake it
You're gonna reach for it
You'll wanna make it!
I'm a little young for this yet...
