I Love to Boogie
T. Rex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie
We love to boogie on a Saturday night
Belinda Mae Fender's got a Cadillac Bone
Jenny's lost her cherry walking
all the way home
The passions of the Earth blasted it's mind
Now it's neat sweet ready for
the moon based grind
We love to boogie
We love to boogie on a Saturday night
We love to boogie
High school boogie, jitterbug boogie
We love to boogie on a Saturday night
You rattlesnake out with your tailfeathers high
Jitterbug left and smile to the sky
With your black velvet cape
We love to boogie, we love to boogie
Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie
We love to boogie on a Saturday night
and your stovepipe hat
Be-bop baby the dance is where it's at
I love to boogie
Yes I love to boogie on a Saturday night
I said I love to boogie, I love to boogie
Jitterbug boogie, I love to boogie
I love to boogie on a Saturday night
I love to boogie
T. Rex's "I Love to Boogie" is an upbeat, fun song that seems to be about a group of friends who love to dance and have a good time together. The lyrics are full of references to dancing and specific dance moves, such as the jitterbug boogie and the high school boogie. The song mentions several characters, including Belinda Mae Fender, who apparently has a Cadillac bone, and Jenny, who lost her cherry walking home.
The song's chorus is straightforward: "We love to boogie on a Saturday night." The characters in the song seem to be united in their love of dancing, and the lyrics suggest that they are ready to dance all night long. The song references the "passions of the Earth" and "moon based grind," which may be allusions to the idea that dancing can transport people to another realm or level of consciousness.
Overall, "I Love to Boogie" is a catchy, joyful celebration of dancing and the community it can create. The lyrics are simple but effective, and Marc Bolan's energetic delivery perfectly captures the song's playful exuberance.
