King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
The b.b. boogie baby
Do the b.b. boogie, if it takes you all night long
Well i looked at the clock
The clock said four
My baby jumped up
She said, "b., let's go"
Do the b.b. boogie baby
B.b. boogie darlin'
Do the b.b. boogie, if it takes you all night long
Grabbed my bay turned her round and round
She said, "b.'s the boogiest man in town"
B.b. boogie darlin'
The b.b. boogie baby
Do the b.b. boogie, if it takes you all night long
I grabbed my baby and i held her tight
Me and my baby do the boogie all night
B.b. boogie darlin'
The b.b. boogie baby
Do the b.b. boogie, if it takes you all night long
I grabbed my baby and i held her tight
She said, "love me baby and squeeze me tight"
The b.b. boogie
B.b. boogie darlin'
B.b. boogie, if it takes you all night long
