I phoned up my doctor,
To see what's the matter,
He said come on over,
I said do I have to,
My knees started shakin'
My wrist started achin'
When my doctor said to me . . .
Oh my my, oh my my, Can you boogie, can you slide,
Oh my my, oh my my, you can boogie, if you try,
Oh my my, oh my my, It's guaranteed to keep you alive
The head nurse, She blew in, just like a tornado,
When they started dancin', I jumped off the table,
I felt myself healin', and as I was leavin'
This is what they said to me . . .
Oh my my, oh my my, can you boogie, can you slide
Oh my my, oh my my, You can boogie, you can fly,
Oh my my, If you try, It's guaranteed to keep you alive.
Now if you should slow down,
And you're feelin' low down,
Don't call up your doctor,
Just grab you a partner,
It's what you've been missin',
I've got your prescription,
That boogie woogie remedy.
Oh my my, oh my my, You can boogie, you can slide,
Oh my my, oh my my, We can boogie, 'til we die,
Oh my my, If you try, it's guaranteed to keep you alive.
Oh my my, oh my my, Watch me boogie, watch me fly,
Oh my my, oh my my, Born to boogie, born to slide,
Oh my my, oh my my, Ooh wee boogie, ooh wee I
Oh my my, oh my my, Play that boogie, Play that slide.Way down at Mister Joe's Cafe
They're takin' someone far away,
And if you hear a song today
It's a sad tune that you'll be playin':
She's leavin' and folks are feelin' so low,
They're grievin' and they're consolin' poor Joe;
Gonna miss her song
Gonna miss her smile
She'll be travelin' alone down that last long mile
They're sighin' with all their trouble and woes
They're cryin' 'cause they all loved
THE GAL FROM JOE'S.
She's leavin' and folks are feelin' so low,
They're grievin' and they're consolin' poor Joe;
Gonna miss her song
Gonna miss her smile
She'll be travelin' alone down that last long mile
They're sighin' with all their trouble and woes
They're cryin' 'cause they all loved
THE GAL FROM JOE'S.
