JOHN LEE HOOKER'S BOOGIE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

hook me Johnny hook me good
as long as I'm in the neighborhood
looking good looking fine
you should know what's on my mind
two things can't have too much of
too much money or too much love

set me up with Mabel there
dark black skin and golden hair
see if Sally is still free
or if she's too much man for me
the Silver Sisters look just great
just got in from out of state

give a sawbuck to the band
blow those horns hard as you can
tell the drummer shake it loose
tell the house dick to vamoose
we'll break every rule we can
laws of nature and laws of man

we'll do the Hooker's boogie
the Hooker's boogie
we gonna do the Hooker's boogie
the Hooker's boogie
nobody here's a rookie
we all know the Hooker's boogie

pink champagne put it on ice
I won't have to ask you twice
get the special stuff on out
trust me you should have no doubt
we'll raise Hell from the River Styx
show the Devil how to get his kicks

years from now they'll tell this tell
about the boogie that never fails
if it don't make you laugh and dance
you never really had a chance
the whole world's playing hooky
to hear the Hooker's boogie

John Lee Hooker
John Lee Hooker
John Lee Hooker
listen what I said
John Lee Hooker
John Lee Hooker
John Lee Hooker
rise up from the dead!
