Still Fit To Boogie
Saxon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We ain't gonna take it lyin' down
We're gonna stand on our own two feet
When people knock us down
We're gonna get up off the ground
And start all over again

Still fit to boogie
Still fit to rock and roll

Stil fit to boogie
Stil fit to rock and roll

They struggle you down when you try to get up
You can't have doubts in your mind
Take the rough with the smooth
You got nothing to lose
All you need's the will to survive

Still fit to boogie
Still fit to rock and roll
Stil fit to boogie
Stil fit to rock and roll

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Saxon's song Still Fit to Boogie are a call to resilience and endurance in the face of difficult times. The first verse speaks of not taking things lying down, and of standing on one's own two feet. When others knock us down, the song suggests, we must get up off the ground and start all over again. This theme of perseverance continues in the second verse, where the song speaks of struggling to get up and not having doubts in one's mind. We are encouraged to take the rough with the smooth, as we have nothing to lose and merely need the will to survive.

The chorus of the song is an affirmation of the band's ability to still boogie and rock and roll, despite any setbacks or obstacles they have faced. This message is underlined with the repeated refrain of "still fit to boogie, still fit to rock and roll" throughout the song. The final verse suggests that if we are feeling down, we should take a trip to town and listen to a rock and roll band. The infectious energy of the music will lift us up and remind us that we too are still fit to rock and roll.
