Rock Billy Boogie
The Johnny Burnette Trio Lyrics

Well, it's a rock, rock, rockabilly boogie
This is a song about a fast-paced rockabilly boogie, and the lyrics are going to be repeated a few times for emphasis.

A rock, rock, rockabilly boogie
The boogie is so good, it's worth repeating again!

A rock, rock, rockabilly boogie tonight
The boogie is happening tonight, and you better get ready to dance!

Well, I know a little spot on the edge of town
The singer knows a great spot where people are dancing the rockabilly boogie.

Where you can really dig 'em up and set 'em down
People are dancing with great intensity and enthusiasm.

It's a little place called, The Hideaway
This great spot is called The Hideaway--you should check it out!

You do the rockabilly till the break of day
The dancing will continue until the sun comes up!

Well, they kick off their shoes, gettin' ready to bop
Dancers are prepared for a long night of dancing and kick off their shoes to get comfortable.

They're gonna rockabilly wearin' their socks
People are wearing socks for comfort and style while they dance.

You wiggle your hip, feel the thrill
Dancing the rockabilly boogie is all about moving your hips and feeling the excitement of the music.

So come on, little baby, do the rockabilly-bill
The singer is inviting everyone to join in on the fun and dance the rockabilly boogie.

Well, there's little ol' Suzie, turnin' seventeen
One of the dancers is Suzie, who is celebrating her seventeenth birthday.

Well, everybody knows her as a rockabilly queen
Suzie is a great dancer and beloved by all in the rockabilly scene.

And there's Ol' Slim, as quiet as a mouse
Another dancer is named Ol' Slim, who is typically quiet and reserved.

He grabs Ol' Suzie, they'll tear up the house
Despite being quiet, Ol' Slim is a great dancer and he and Suzie are going to put on a great show.
