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 of me too 

I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu 



Want some lovin' babe and 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 



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 



(Instrumental)



I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low 

I would be runnin' but my feets too slow 

Young man rhythm 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
