Blame It on the Boogie
Jackson & Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hee, hee, hee

My baby's always dancin'
And wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no lovin'
And that's no lie

We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed our love goodbye

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

That nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet

I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
And my baby just can't take her eyes off me

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't you blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Woo

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

I just can't
I just can't (yeah)
I just can't control (woo) my feet

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

Sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't, on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm fools me
The Devil's gotten to me through this dance

I'm full of funky fever
A fire burns inside me
Boogie's got me in a super trance

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
(Don't you blame it)

Sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Ow

(Sunshine) woo
(Moonlight) yeah
(Good times) mmm
(Boogie) you just got to

(Sunshine) yeah
(Moonlight)
(Good times) good times
(Boogie)

Don't you blame it (sunshine)
You just got to (moonlight)
You just want to (good times)
Yeah, oh (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
All, all night long (boogie)

Can't stop that boogie (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
Dancin' all night long (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)




But yours and that funky
Funky boogie, boogie, (woo) yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Blame It On The Boogie" by Jackson & Jackson describe a person who is enamored with dancing to the "nasty boogie" in every kind of disco. The singer explains that they have changed their life completely, and even when lightning is striking, their baby just can't take her eyes off them. The boogie bugs the singer but has also "drugged" them, causing them to be "spellbound" by the rhythm and "full of funky fever." Overall, the lyrics of the song suggest that the blame for the singer's excessive dancing and rebelling against their partner's wishes should not be put on external factors like sunshine or moonlight, but rather on the irresistible power of the boogie.


The lyrics of "Blame It On The Boogie" are an example of the disco genre, which was popular in the late 1970s. The song was originally written and recorded by Mick Jackson, a British musician, in 1978.

My baby's always dancin'
My partner loves to dance


And it wouldn't be a bad thing
I wouldn't mind if they weren't always dancing


But I don't get no lovin'
But I don’t receive enough affection from them


And that's no lie
I am not lying about this


We spent the night in Frisco
We went to San Francisco for a night


At every kind of disco
We went to several discos


From that night I kissed our love goodbye
That night marked the end of our relationship

The sunshine is not the reason
