Standin’ by the water doin’ the boogaloo dance
Time came rolling in – we didn’t stand a chance
Water’s standin’ over – my heart and my place
Time came rollin’ in playin’ the boogaloo base.
Do the boogaloo yahoo yeha!
Fiddle, squeeze box, harmonica, mandolin, base (Doing the boogaloo)
Water washed over my beans and my corn
Boogaloo dancin’ where I was raised ‘n born
Boogaloo dancin’ where old folks are restin’
Time came rollin’ in playin’ wild mandolin
Do the boogaloo yahoo yeha!
Fiddle, squeeze box, harmonica, mandolin, base (Doing the boogaloo)
It’s broken all the sluices an’ is headed down below
Bruin’ wild boogaloos, reapin’ what we sow.
Scales of boogie justice put us all in the riddle
Time came rollin’ in playin’ harmonica and fiddle
Do the boogaloo yahoo yeha!
Fiddle, squeeze box, harmonica, mandolin, base (Doing the boogaloo)
Seems the best we folk can do is do boogaloo dancin’
‘N join the water flow. There ain’t no second chancin’
‘N join the water flow learnin’ river’s ol’ romance
Time came rollin’ in livin’ the boogaloo dance
Do the boogaloo yahoo yeha!
Fiddle, squeeze box, harmonica, mandolin, base (Doing the boogaloo)
