Don't Boogie Woogie (When You Say Your Prayers Tonight)

Don't Boogie Woogie (When You Say Your Prayers Tonight) - Jerry Lee Lewis (傑瑞·李·路易斯)

I was feelin' kind of poorly hadn't been lookin' too fine

I just had to found out what was ailin' this old body of mine

So I went to my family doctor

To get my temperature and set me straight

And the first thing he did was to tell me

To quit eatin' every good thing I ate

And he told old Jerry Lee to stop smokin'

Lay off of that beer and whiskey

He said son you gonna have to have a little help

And confidentially he looked at Jerry Lee

He shook his head and then he said

Like a friend he took my hand and he said

Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

Son you can't boogie woogie when you send your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

Jerry Lee you been over-rockin' you know that it ain't right

You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light

Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

He wired me up like spaceman and he turned on the cardiograph

The needle went out of sight the doc turned white

He called in his entire staff

And he cried out in disbelief

Told the killer with staring conviction

He said if you don't live right son

You're gonna die of cholesterol constriction

He looked at me he shook his head

Here's a perspective that I think you're gonna dread

You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

You can't do it you can't do it son it ain't right

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

You better quit rockin' boy you know it ain't right

You better turn on Jesus when you turn off the light

Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

Wow give it to me now

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

Oh don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight

(Don't boogie woogie don't boogie woogie)

Son you been over-rockin' and you know that it ain't right

You better turn on Jesus when you switch off the light

Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
