Boogie Downtown
Groove into the Night: Boogie Downtown with Runaway Street
Lyrics
Hey pretty baby
Expressing a casual greeting or compliment to an attractive person.
Have you heard the news?
Asking if the person is aware of some recent information or events.
There's a party down the street
Announcing the presence of a gathering nearby.
And we got some cheap booze
Indicating the availability of inexpensive alcoholic drinks.
Gonna round up the boys
Planning to gather a group of friends, likely males.
We're gonna make some noise
Intention to create excitement and commotion.
And get the juke joint rocking
Desire to energize a venue with music, specifically rhythm and blues.
With some rhythm and blues
Setting the scene for a lively atmosphere with a specific genre of music.
Come on baby
Encouraging someone to relax and enjoy the moment.
Don't be so uptight
Advising against being overly serious or reserved.
I've been around the block
Implying a level of experience or familiarity with life's challenges.
But that's alright
Expressing acceptance and contentment despite past experiences.
Your heart is aching
Acknowledging emotional pain or distress.
Your hips need shaking
Suggesting the need for physical movement and enjoyment.
I'm coming down to see you tonight
Expressing an intention to visit someone in the evening.
'Cause it's a boogie downtown
Describing the type of event - a lively gathering in the city center.
On a Saturday night!
Emphasizing the day of the event.
Me and the boys in leather
Describing the attire of the speaker and companions.
Looking tight!
Highlighting a stylish and confident appearance.
Only the coolest cats can party with us
Stating exclusivity and coolness of the gathering.
We keep it rolling all night on a midnight bus
Commitment to keeping the party going through the night.
If you got some leather pants
Criteria for joining the party - wearing leather pants and dancing skills.
And you know how to dance
Encouraging those who meet the criteria to contact the speaker.
Then baby give us a call
Linking the event to the possibility of romance.
If you're down for romance
Expressing readiness for romantic involvement.
I got my dads three-fifty from seventy-two
Specifying the model and year of a car, possibly for its significance or appeal.
His Buick's gonna rock the living shit outta you
Anticipating the powerful impact of the mentioned car's music system.
Your heart is aching
Reiteration of emotional distress and the need for physical movement.
Your hips need shaking
Reiteration of the need for energetic movement.
I'm coming down to see you tonight
Reiterating the plan to visit someone in the evening.
'Cause it's a boogie downtown
Repeating the description of the event on a Saturday night.
On a Saturday night!
Reiterating the participation of the speaker and companions.
Me and the boys in leather
Repeating the description of the attire for emphasis.
Looking tight!
Reiterating the stylish and confident appearance for emphasis.
It's a boogie downtown
Repeating the description of the event on a Saturday night.
On a Saturday night!
Repeating the participation of the speaker and companions.
Me and the boys in leather
Repeating the description of the attire for emphasis.
Looking tight!
Reiterating the stylish and confident appearance for emphasis.
