Boom Boom

Boom boom boom boom
Gonna shoot you right down
Right offa your feet
Take you home with me
Put you in my house
Boom boom boom boom
ow-how-how-how
mmm-mmm-hmm-hmm
mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

I love to see you strut
Up and down the floor
When you talkin' to me
That baby talk
I like it like that
whoah!!
(talk that talk)
(walk that walk)

She walk that walk
And talk that talk
And whisper in my ear
Tell me that she love me
I love that talk
When you talk like that
You knock me out
Right offa my feet
ho-ho-ho-ho
(Talk that talk)
(And walk that walk)
(Oh yeah!)


Dimples

I love the way you walk
I love the way you walk
I'm crazy 'bout your walk
I love the way you walk
You my baby...I got my eyes on you

I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
I like the way you switch
You my baby...I got my eyes on you

You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You got dimples in your jaw
You my baby I got my eyes on you

Well I see you every day
Well I see you every day
In your neighborhood
Well I see you every day
Well I see you every day
You my baby...I got my eyes on you


I'm In The Mood

I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, I'm in the mood for love

I said night time is the right time, to be with the one you love
You know when night come baby, God know, you're so far away
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, I'm in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, in the mood, baby, in the mood for love

I said yes, my mama told me, to leave that girl alone
But my mama didn't know, God know, girl was puttin' down
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood baby, in the mood for love
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, baby, in the mood for love


Boogie Chillun

Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would boogie-woogie anyhow

When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hastings Street
Everybody was talkin' about, the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillun!

One night I was layin' down,
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie,
it's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good,
went on boogie'n just the same

Nightmare

These nightmares, nightmares
Nightmares ride me all night long
These nightmares, nightmares
Rides me all night long
I can't sleep at night, I can't sleep at night
These nightmares rides me night and day

I wonder why, my telephone don't never ring
Yes I wonder why my telephone don't never ring
When my baby she was here with me
My telephone rung both night and day

My friends don't come around me
They don't seem like they know me no more
You know my friends don't come around me
Ever since my baby been gone
These nightmares keep on riding me
You know the ride me both night and day
(Yes yes)

Yes I went to a gypsy woman
Just to have my fortune read
Yes I went to a gypsy woman
Just to have my fortune read
She said John you ain't never had a friend
They only was pretendin' to be

I said "gypsy woman
Can you stop these nightmares from riding me
Stop these nightmares from riding me
Because I just can't live on live on
Live on this way...."
