Boogie Woogie Country Girl
Jools Holland Lyrics

She wears loafer shoes, a dungaree
She has a laid-back sense of style, preferring comfortable clothes like loafers and dungarees.

Red jacket shirt, if you please
She likes to add a pop of color to her outfit with a red shirt.

She digs that music with a beat

Rocking 'n' rollin is her need

On Saturday night, she comes to town
She likes to go out and party on Saturday nights, leaving her country home for some city excitement.

She digs some cherries, she can milk a cow

Don't like squares, though daddy tought her how
She doesn't like people who are boring or uptight, even though her father may have influenced some of her traditional agricultural skills.

She's up every morning about half past five
She's an early riser who enjoys the peace and quiet of the early morning hours.

She likes to go fishing 'cause it keeps you alive
She enjoys the thrill and challenge of fishing, which she sees as a way to stay connected to nature.

Now when she's dancin' the kids hang around
