When I first come to town, I didn't know my way around
Heard everybody talkin' 'bout Henry's swing club
I decided I'd go there
When I got there, boy, it really was jumpin'
Well my mama, she didn't allow it, to stay out all night long
But I didn't care, what my mama didn't allow
I would stay out, anyhow
One night I was layin' in the bed
I heard papa tellin' mama:
Don't bother that boy about Boogie Wogie
'Cause it's in him, and it's got to come out
