Luther Played the Boogie
Luther's Boogie Revelation
Lyrics
We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country style
We were part of a simple hillbilly band with a traditional country style.
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild
We didn't play songs that were too exciting or provocative.
Played a railroad song with a stomping beat
We performed a song about railroads with a lively beat.
We played a blues song, kinda slow and sweet
We played a slow and sweet blues song.
But the thing that knocked them off of their feet was, ooh-wee
The surprising element that captivated the audience was Luther's boogie woogie playing.
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther's boogie woogie playing had a unique and captivating style that stood out.
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
-Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
-Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the strangest kind of way
-Play it strange!
An encouragement to play the music in a distinctive and unusual manner.
Well, we did our best to entertain everywhere we'd go
We made efforts to entertain wherever we performed.
We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show
We played energetically, almost to the point of exhaustion, to give the audience a good show.
Played jumping jive to make 'em get in the groove
We played jumping jive to get the audience into the groove.
We played sad songs, real slow and smooth
We also played slow and smooth sad songs.
But the only thing that'd make 'em move was, ooh-wee
The only thing that truly excited the audience was Luther's boogie woogie playing.
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
Reiteration of Luther's exceptional and unique boogie woogie style that moved the audience.
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie
-Luther played the boogie
