Rockin Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu - Dr. John

I wanna jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall

I wanna holler but the joint’s too small

Young man rhythm’s got a hold on me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Want some lovin', baby, that ain’t all

I wanna kiss her but she’s way too tall

Young man rhythm’s got a hold on me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Young and then the breeze

Young girls are tougher and tighter they squeeze

But the young girl’s hip, head down the hall

I got the rockin' pneumonia, the boogie woogie flu

I want lovin', baby, that ain’t all

It’s the last call for alcohol

Hey now, young man rhythm’s got a hold on me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia and boogie woogie flu, alright

I wanna love her but she ain’t been home

I know she’s leavin' but she’s takin' too long

Yeah, young man rhythm’s got a hold on me too

Got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Hey Lord, it’s alright

Hey Lord, it’s alright

Upright, you got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna jump but I’m afraid I might fall

I wanna holler but the joint’s too small

Young man rhythm’s got a hold on me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I want some lovin', baby, that ain’t all

I wanna kiss her but the child’s too tall

Young man rhythm’s got a hold on me too

Got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu, alright
