Poison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy oh boy have I got news for you
Everybody here tonight must boogie
Let me tell ya, you are no exception to the rule
Get on up, on the floor
'Cause were gonna boogie oogie oogie
'Till you just can't boogie no more
You can't boogie no more
Ah boogie, boogie no more
Listen to the music
There's no time to waste let's get the show on the road
Listen to the music and let your body flow
The sooner we break down the longer we got to groove
Listen to the music and let your body move
Now get on up, on the floor
'Cause were gonna boogie oogie oogie
Till you just can't boogie no more
Ah boogie, boogie no more
You can't boogie no more
Ah boogie, boogie no more
Listen to the music
Get down boogie oogie oogie
Get down boogie oogie oogie
Get down boogie oogie oogie
Get down boogie oogie oogie
The lyrics of Poison's Rock & Roll All Nite invite the listener to let loose and dance the night away. The opening lines indicate that no one is exempt from the dance floor, as everyone present is expected to boogie. The phrase "too cool to boogie" suggests that some people might be reluctant to dance or feel like they're above such frivolity, but the song asserts that dancing and having fun are universal pleasures that should be enjoyed by all.
The repeated exhortations to "boogie oogie oogie" create a sense of fun and exuberance, urging the listener to let go of their inhibitions and surrender to the beat. The chorus's repetition of "you can't boogie no more" suggests that the dancing should be relentless, with no pause or hesitation. The song creates an infectious energy that makes it hard to resist the urge to get up and dance.
