Текст песни Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu

(Huey "Piano" Smith & Johnny Vincent)

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall.
I wanna holler but the joint's too small.
Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too.
I got the rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

I want some lovin', baby, that ain't all.
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall.
Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too.
I got the rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow
Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

Woo
--- Instrumental break.---

I wanna scream, I want you all to know,
I would be runnin' but my feets' too slow.

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too.
I got that rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

Let me tell you now I'm hurryin' home.
I know she's leavin' 'cause I'm takin' too long.
Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too.
I got the rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall.
I wanna holler but the joint's too small.
Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too.
I got the rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

I want some lovin', baby, that ain't all.
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall.
Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too.
I got the rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.
