  • Boogie fever, got to boogie down
    Boogie fever, I think it's going around

    I took my baby to the drive-in show
    She turned the speaker down
    And then she turned on the radio
    I watched a silent movie, diggin' funky sound

    [Chorus]
    She's got the Boogie Fever
    She likes to boogie down
    Boogie Fever
    I think it's going around

    I took my baby too the pizza parlor
    to get a bite to eat
    I put some money in the jukebox for her
    You know she ate her pizza dancing to the beat

    [Chorus]

    (All night long, we did the bump, bump, bump)
    Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did, yeah.
    (She kept it going strong) doin the bump, bump, bump

    I called the doctor on the telephone
    Said Doctor, Doctor, please
    I got this feeling
    Rocking and a'reeling
    Tell me, what can it be, is it some new disease?

    They call it Boogie fever
    You got to boogie down
    Boogie fever, I think it's going around

    (All night long, we did the bump, bump, bump)
    Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did
    (We kept it going strong) doin the bump, bump, bump

    Everybody's got the Boogie fever
    You got to boogie down
    Boogie fever, I think it's going around

    I got the Boogie Fever
    You got the Boogie Fever
    Everybody's got the Boogie Fever Writer/s: FREDERICK J. PERREN, KENI ST. LEWIS
