I'm doing something now, I ain't never done before Going to do it this time, ain't going to do it no more My alley boogie: only thing I choose And it's the only thing I do, to drown away by blues I boogie all night, all the night before When I woke up this morning, I want to boogie some more Old alley boogie, only thing I crave I can do my alley boogie, so many different ways I got a bed in my bedroom, a pallet on my floor Got to do the alley boogie, everywhere I go Because I'm wild about my boogie, only thing I crave Good alley boogie, will carry me to my grave Mama loves my boogie, papa loves it too And it runs in my family, that's all I like to do I'm wild about my boogie, only thing I crave I'm going to do my boogie, the rest of my days Papa got a watch, brother got a ring Sister got a armful from really boogying that thing She's wild about my boogie, only thing she choose Now she got to do the boogie, to buy her alley baby some shoes Now I done sung this song, until I quit And there ain't nobody, bought no alley boogie yet And I'm wild about my boogie, only thing I crave I been doing my alley boogie, I been boogying all of my days
