Boogie, boogie, boogie, the boogie, boogie, boogie beat down in Africa many years ago.There lived a little fella named Sula Joe. He took his tom-tom, a great big stick, and that was the birth of the boogie lick.Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie, the boogie, boogie, boogie beat.Then Joe got hip and he started to sing. The animals flipped and began to swing.Monkey, elephant, kangaroo, they all picked up on the boogie too.Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie, the boogie, boogie, boogie beat.The boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie beat.Well, the animals all boogied all over the place. The rabbits slept in the bulldog's den.They kept on beatin' till the early morning. And that's when the boogie, woogie was born.Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie, the boogie, boogie, boogie beat.
