A E7


[Verse]
          A
I want to jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

I want to holler but the joint's too small
E
Young man rhythm got a hold on me too
             A                            E7
I've got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu


[Verse]
            A
I want some lovin', baby, that ain't all

I want to kiss her but the gal's too tall
E
Young man rhythm got a hold on me too
          A                            E7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu


[Verse]
          A
I want to scream, oh babe, I want you to know

I would be running but my feet's too slow
E
Young man rhythm got a hold on me too
          A                            E7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
