I wanna holler but the joint's too small
  Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
  I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

  Call some other's baby that ain't all
  I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
  Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
  I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

  I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
  I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
  Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
  I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

  ------ piano ------

  I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
  I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
  Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
  I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

  Baby comin' now I'm hurryin' home
  I know she's leavin' cause I'm takin' too long
  Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
  I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
