Blame It on the Boogie
Jay Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hee, hee, hee, hee

My baby's always dancin' and it 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 kinda 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 how 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 (Woo) control 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)
Ooh (Moonlight)
Yeah (Good times)
Mmm (Boogie)

You just gotta (Sunshine)
Yeah (Moonlight)
(Good times)
Good times (Boogie)

Don't you blame it (Sunshine)
You just gotta (Moonlight)
You just wanna (Good times)
Yeah, oh (Boogie)

Blame it on yourself (Sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (Moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (Good times)
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 boogie (Good times)
All night long (Boogie)





But yours and that boogie

Overall Meaning

In Jay Kid's song "Blame it on the boogie," the singer discusses his partner's obsession with dancing and how it has affected their relationship. He acknowledges that his partner's dancing is not a bad thing, but the lack of affection he receives is a problem. He reminisces about their nights spent at different discos, but it ultimately led to the end of their love. The singer then goes on to blame the boogie for this situation, claiming that the infectious rhythm is to blame. He describes how the rhythm has taken over his life and completely changed it. Despite it all, his partner can't take their eyes off of him on the dance floor. The chorus repeats the message of not blaming other things, but blaming the boogie for all the troubles it has caused.


The song appears to be a fun and energetic celebration of the disco era. However, the lyrics suggest that at its core, it's a cautionary tale about the perils of obsession and addiction. The lively beat and catchy melody attempt to distract from the underlying message, but the lyrics are clear about the hazardousness of succumbing to the boogie's allure.
