Wellnot too long ago in nineteen forty-four
When every mother s son was goin off to war
They had to lift they spirits high High!
For Uncle Sammotherhood and apple pie
Instead of spendin money that they didn t have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to hear the kind of jazz
You hear in funky honky-tonks

It made you wanna
Jump jump! shout shout! knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I m talkin about
If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin
You could jump jump! shout shout! knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I m talkin about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who s goin to town

dootdootdoot dooyeah
dootdootdoot dooyeah



It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin and the plunkin drove em up the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin yeah!
And when the fuzz fuzz buzzed buzzed they d join in
So everybody partied till the cows came home
cause that s what boogie s for
And every night that dump would jump jumpjump
And keep em comin back for more

Because it made you wanna
Jump jump! shout shout! knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I m talkin about
If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin
You could jump jump! shout shout! knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I m talkin about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who s goin to town

It made you wanna
Jump jump! shout shout!

Slip the talcum to me Malcom
You wanna jump jump! shout shout!
Floy-doyfloy-doy
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin

You could jump jump! shout shout! knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I m talkin about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
