Boogie Woogie Baby

You've got my baby with the pretty pretty skirt
I know she's mine 'cause she's just one flirt
She's my boogie woogie baby
She's my boogie woogie baby

Boogie woogie baby
Boogie all the time
Yes she's kinda tall with a fine face
That pretty skirt with a tight tall waist

She's my boogie woogie baby
She's my boogie woogie baby
She's my boogie woogie baby
Boogie all the time

There's a pretty little doll
Five feet from the ground
But every time she pass'
My love is tumblin' down

She's my boogie woogie baby
She's my boogie woogie baby




She's my boogie woogie baby
Boogie all the time

Un pionero chico rock and roller en toda regla antes que Elvis y demás chicos-as blancos -as que mezclaron el rhytm and blues con el country-hillbilly como Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent ,Eddie Cochran, Johnny Burnnette, Wanda Jackson, Bill Haley y demás cantantes del mestizo rock and roll y mestizo rockabilly. Fats fue tan pionero como Tampa Red y sus blues de 1929 , primerísimo rockin como It,s tigh like that..., la madrina del rock and roll como es conocida Sister Rosseta Tharpe con su tema rockin en 1945 con Strange things is happening every day, Wynonie Harris y su Good rockin tonight o Big Joe Turner en 1947 con Shake Rattle roll y muchos -as mas antes del 54.... , todos temas afroamericanos-as los primerisimos temas rockers. Saludos de una chica rocker-rockabilly amante de las músicas buenas y añejas ya sean rockabilly, rock and roll, blues, rhytm and blues rockeados o sin rockear, Boogie -woogie, Country , doo-wop, mestizo western-swing, hillbilly... a la gente fan de Domino y las música añejas de los años 20 a 50 .
