Rokcin Pneumonia

ROCKIN' PNEUMONIA AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE FLU

Johnny Rivers

(J. Vincent / H. Smith)

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

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
