Boogie Woogie Baby
Fats Domino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In Fats Domino's "Boogie Woogie Baby," he sings about a woman who is his lover and a great dancer. The song appears to be about a man singing to another man, telling him that he has his "baby" (girlfriend) wearing a pretty skirt, but he also knows that she's a flirt. The woman is described as a "boogie woogie baby," which suggests that she's a great dancer and loves to dance all the time. He further compliments her by saying that she has a tall, fine face with a tight, tall waist that makes her more attractive.
Furthermore, the song talks about how every time she passes by, the singer's love for her tumbles down. This could suggest that he is constantly falling in love with her every time he sees her. Domino's smooth and cheerful voice, combined with the upbeat rhythm of the song, make it an exciting tune that captures the essence of love and dance.
In conclusion, "Boogie Woogie Baby" is a fun, upbeat song about a woman who is both a great dancer and a flirty lover. It's a great tune to dance to, and it's easy to get lost in the beat of the music.

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 .
