The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu

My online friend, RocketM mentioned that I kind of gave him the blues bug. Which made me chuckle, and I replied that if you are going to have a bug the blues bug is a good one, because you could have The Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie flu. But come to think of it, that would not be too bad either.

Johnny Rivers - Rockin' Pneumonia


Lyrics
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Call some other's baby that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Baby comin' now I'm hurryin' home
I know she's leavin' cause I'm takin' too long
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
