Boogie Boy
Iggy Pop · American Caesar [1993]
i like to play around with boogie toys
i need a boogie girl to boogie too
i need a doogie god my shoe to chew
i like to make a dumb ass noise
because i 'm a boogie boogie boy
now every mornin i wake up at nine
i'm eating cheerios with red wine
i'm reading that book but it's not too good
cuz my boogie head is made outta wood
it' s a fact i get s0 much joy
when i can go out and be a boggie boy
like to eat spaghetti with tomato sauce
i like to eat clams with spanish moss
i like to go down to mash potato town
cuz that's where a boogie boy can get
thats what i do
like to make noise
like to go out and be a boogie boy
