21 Boogie Songtext
von John Lee Hooker & Bernard Besman

I′m goin' away, baby.
But I will be comin′ back.
I'm goin' away, babe.
But I will be comin′ back.
I′m twenty-one now, baby.
An I sure can have my fun.

Last night I was laying down.
I heared papa tell mama.
'That boy′s twenty-one, now.'
′An he can have his fun.'

I was layin′ there listenin' in bed, to myself.
An I heared them, ev'ry word they said.
An I felt so good.
Kept on goin′ my way.

Ooh, Jump Jump, Jump, Jump!


Don′t worry, baby.
I sure heard the good news last night.
Don't worry, baby.
Heard the good news last night.
Heard mama, papa tell.
That I sure was twenty-one.

My mama she heard it.
Papa heard the same.
Reason I boogie, can′t help myself.

I got to do the Boogie.
I got to do the Boogie.
I've got to do the Boogie.
An I just can′t help myself.

(Guitar solo)

Spoken:
Look-a-here, now baby.
Don't worry ′bout me.
Can't be home at twelve o'clock.
Cause I′m twenty-one, now.
I can stay out all night long.
An don′t have to go home, until I get ready.

I said, baby, baby, baby.
Let's Boogie!
Let′s Boogie Jump, awhile.
