The Calloway Boogie (12-11-47) - Cab Calloway

Here’s a little tune we’re gonna play for you,

There ain’t nothin' to it and it’s easy to do:

Called the Calloway Boogie,

It’s the Calloway Boogie,

Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!

If you like music with a boogie beat,

Here’s a little ditty that’s really all reet!

It’s the Calloway Boogie,

It’s the Calloway Boogie,

Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!

I woke up with the blues the other day,

The cats started jamming and they blew away.

With the Calloway Boogie,

The Calloway Boogie,

Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!

We play waltzes, bebop and jive,

But here’s the kind of music that keeps you alive!

It’s the Calloway Boogie,

It’s the Calloway Boogie,

Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!

If you like boogie with some hi-de-ho,

Just listen to me, here’s the way it goes:

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi!

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!

Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
