Jump Shout Boogie — текст песни (Barry Manilow)

Well not to long ago in nineteen forty-four
When every mother`s son was goin` off to war
They had to lift they spirits high (High!)
For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie
Instead of spendin` money that they didn`t have
In hot spot in the Bronx
They went to hear the kinD of jazz
You hear in funky honky-tonks

It made you wanna
Jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I`m talkin` about
If you had the heebie-jeebies
you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music
the piano man was playin`
You could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I`m talkin` about
You could pull a switcheroonie
if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat
of a piano man who`s goin` to town

It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin` and the plunkin` drove `em up the wall
Then they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz buzzed they`d join in
So everybody partied `till the cows came home
`Cause that`s what boogie`s for
And every night that dump would jump
And keep `em comin` back for more

Because it made you wanna
Jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I`m talkin` about
If you had the heebie-jeebies
you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music
the piano man was playin`
You could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I`m talkin` about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat
of a piano man who`s goin` to town

It made you wanna Jump, shout
(Foo-der-acka-sacki)
Wanna jump, shout
(Slip the talcum to me Malcom)
You wanna jump, shout
(Floy-doy, floy-doy)
To the boogie-woogie music
the piano man was playin`
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I`m talkin` about
You could pull a switcheroonie
if you felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat
of a piano man who`s goin` to town

Shake it, yes, yes, yes
