Lyrics
Gotta boogie
The singer repeatedly emphasizes having a "boogie" on their finger that they can't shake off, using it as a central theme.
Gotta boogie
-Gotta boogie
-Gotta boogie
-Gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
-Gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
-Gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
-Gotta boogie on my finger and I can't shake it off
-Well, I went out to a party just the other night
The singer describes attending a party, enjoying the music and dancing energetically, but is questioned by their partner about something suspicious.
I was jammin' to the music, I was feelin' alright
-I was burning up the floor like a disco maniac
-When my woman said, "Baby, why's your hand behind you back?"
-Gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
Reiteration of the singer having a persistent "boogie" on their finger that they cannot remove.
I said boogie (gotta boogie)
-I gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
-Gotta boogie on my finger and I can't shake it off
-I can't pick it off (uh uh)
The singer humorously lists various unsuccessful attempts to get rid of the "boogie" and resigns to the fact that they have to live with it.
I can't flick it off (uh uh)

-I gotta boogie (gotta boogie, uh huh, he's gotta boogie)
