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 a rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the gal's too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

Yeah!

Well, all right! Yeah!

I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feets' too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and a 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 a rockin' pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu.

I wanna scream (2×).
