The Boogie Blues - Kurtis Blow

Now's the time when things are hot 
To show the world just what you've got 
Just grab a partner hit the floor 
'Cause this is what you're waiting for 
It's time for us to take a chance 
So get on up got out and dance 
Just shout it out and spread the news 
About those low down Boogie blues 

Now The Boogie Blues is nothin' new 
It started back in '22 
Some guys and girls were sittin' 'round 
In a little club outside of town 
In walked a dude from parts unknown 
Without a friend,he was all alone 
Dressed up in tails and button shoes 
He taught them all The Boogie Blues 

I've got a dance you ought to know 
It's no too fast and not too slow 
It's not to hard and not too easy 
Not too straight and not too sleazy 
Something different,something new 
Something special just for you 
Something just to rock your shoes 
Something called The Boogie Blues 

The Boogie Blues has got the beat 

The Boogie Blues will move your feet 

Feel the beat and spread the new 

About those low-down Boogie Blues 

The dude got up to whirl and dance 
Just like a dervish in a trance 
Spinning,twirling,up and down 
Round and round and round and round 
Just like Bojangles or Astaire 
A dapper dude without a care 
With flying feet,top hat and cane 
You knew he only drank champagne 

Just watching him would keep you busy 
Make you feel a little dizzy 
Such a sight for all to see 
The Boogie Blues done to a "T" 
Leaping high and doing splits 
The crowd was simply having fits 
They cheered until their throats were dry
