Went to see my baby,
Said he had an awful cough
Went to see my baby,
He said he had an awful cough
He almost caught pneumonia,
Cause he boogied with his black drawers off

In the park, in the dark
The mockingbird he sings so soft
In the park, in the dark
The mockingbird he sings so soft
It make it oh so easy
To boogie with your black drawers off

- solos -

Turn on the lights, pour a corn,
Keep the music smooth and soft
Turn on the lights, pour a corn,
Keep the music smooth and soft
You don't need the fire department
If you boogie with your black drawers off

(everybody joins in this chorus, led by Snooky Young:)

Don't cha boogie, don't cha boogie, don't cha boogie with your black drawers off
Don't cha boogie, don't cha boogie, don't cha boogie
