Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna play

It's just an old piano and a knockout bass

The drummer mans a cat they call Charlie McCoy
A
You know, remember that rubber-legged boy?
E
Mama cookin' chicken fried in bacon grease
A
Come on along boys it's just down the road apiece

A
Well there's a place you really get your kicks
A
It's open every night about twelve to six
D
Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill
D
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
E
Come on along you can lose your lead
A
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece

Well there's a place you really get your kicks

Now if you wanna hear some boogie you can get your fill
A
And shove and sting like an old steam drill
E
Come on along you can lose your lead
A
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
