The Calloway Boogie

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!
