Lyrics
Ha ha ho ho
Expressing laughter and excitement
Okay boys let's get real solid gone
An invitation to get thoroughly intoxicated or high
Shake it mister and your sister too
Encouraging someone and their sister to dance energetically
I'm gonna make you boogie woogie
Promising to make someone dance enthusiastically
Gonna roll away your shoes
Encouraging someone to dance until their shoes come off
Boogie with me baby-boogie!boogie!
Repeated invitation to dance throughout the night
Boogie with me baby-boogie!boogie!
-Won't you boogie with me baby
-We'll whoop the whole night through
-Listen to me baby
Asking someone to listen
C'mon baby won't you do it right
Asking someone to do something correctly
You can boogie with me baby
Encouraging someone to dance while promising to hold them close
And you know I'll hold you tight
-C'mon over and watch this
Encouragement to watch and learn the dance, highlighting it's not the twist
That's the way to do it
-Honey it ain't the twist
-Won't you boogie with me baby-boogie!boogie!
Repeated invitation to dance throughout the night
Boogie with me baby-boogie!boogie!
-Won't you boogie with me baby
-We'll whoop the whole night through
-Swing that Joanna! July the 4th
Mentioning a musical instrument and a date, possibly indicating a performance or event
Chrissy Boy !-pick it!
Calling out a person's name, likely indicating a musical cue
Well I got the boogie the boogie got me
Expressing having the boogie (rhythm) and feeling very happy
I'm so gone I'm hap-happy
Repeated invitation to dance throughout the night
Won't you boogie with me baby-boogie!boogie!
-Boogie with me baby-boogie!boogie!
-Boogie with me baby
-We'll whoop the whole night through
-Let's take it over there
Directing where the dance is happening
Over there-over where?-over there
-Well the boogie is a coming over there
-Said I got the boogie-I got the boogie
Repeatedly emphasizing having the rhythm and inviting someone to dance energetically
A-boogie with me baby-boogie with me baby
-I said I got the boogie-I got the boogie
-Boogie with me baby-well boogie with me baby
-I said oh we'll flip the whole night through-over there
Expressing the intention to dance energetically for an extended period
I said boogie with me baby
Repeatedly emphasizing having the rhythm and inviting someone to dance energetically
We'll rip the whole night through
Reaffirming the invitation to dance all night long
I said hey Jack can you dig it?
Asking someone if they understand or enjoy the situation
I said c'mon over baby
Repeated invitation to dance throughout the night
We'll rip the whole night through
-I'm a real solid gone-yeah!
Asserting being completely intoxicated or out of touch with reality
