Well I wanted to boogie so we got in the car Well I wasn't too choosy but then soon we got far So we stopped in a club and we had us a drink Well it wasn't too long and just what do you think Well I wanted to boogie and the band they came on Yellow Bird very pretty but I don't like the song So I went for a walk and I followed the sound And I came to a party and a lady I found Well she smiled real sweet and she said you're a peach So she wanted to take me for a walk on the beach And she told me the breeze as it comes from the sea Keeps your *** all night and you will need it with me Well I wanted to boogie but I wasn't too sure That I wanted to do just what she wanted me for So I said I'm with friends and I haven't the dime So she turned round and said, well come and see me sometime Well, I wanted to boogie so we kept on the move And we looked for a place where we could go in and groove So we went to the Playboy and we hadn 't got keys So it cost thrity dollars just to go in and freeze So I wanted to boogie but the time hadn't come We decided to sleep and then get up with the sun So we headed for home and it didn't take long So I sat on my bed and then I wrote out this song
