| I was feelin' kind of poorly, hadn’t been lookin' too fine
|
| I just had to found out what was ailin' this old body of mine
|
| So I went to my family doctor
|
| To get my temperature and set me straight
|
| And the first thing he did was to tell me
|
| To quit eatin' every good thing I ate
|
| And he told old Jerry Lee to stop smokin'
|
| Lay off of that beer and whiskey
|
| He said, son you gonna have to have a little help
|
| And confidentially he looked at Jerry Lee
|
| He shook his head, and then he said
|
| Like a friend he took my hand and he said:
|
| Don’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| Son, you can’t boogie woogie when you send your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| Jerry Lee, you been over-rockin', you know that it ain’t right
|
| You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light
|
| Don’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| He wired me up like spaceman and he turned on the cardiograph
|
| The needle went out of sight, the doc turned white
|
| He called in his entire staff
|
| And he cried out in disbelief
|
| Told the killer with staring conviction
|
| He said, if you don’t live right son
|
| You’re gonna die of cholesterol constriction
|
| He looked at me, he shook his head
|
| Here’s a perspective that I think you’re gonna dread
|
| You can’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| You can’t do it, you can’t do it son, it ain’t right
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| You better quit rockin' boy, you know it ain’t right
|
| You better turn on Jesus when you switch off the light
|
| Don’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| Wow, give it to me now!
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| Oh, don’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| You can’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
|
| (Don't boogie woogie, don’t boogie woogie)
|
| Son, you been over-rockin' and you know that it ain’t right
|
| You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light
|
| Don’t boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight |
