Bopin’ the Blues Songtext
von Carl Perkins

Well, all my friends are boppin′ the blues, it must be goin' round
All my friends are boppin′ the blues, it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound

Well, the doctor told me, "Carl you don't need no pills"
Yes, the doctor told me, "Boy, you don′t need no pills
Just a handful of nickels, the jukebox will cure your ills

Well, all my friends are boppin′ the blues, it must be goin' round
All them cats are boppin′ the blues, it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, I must be rhythm bound

Well, the old cat bug bit me, man, I don′t feel no pain
Yeah, that jitterbug caught me, man, I don't feel no pain
I still love you baby, but I′ll never be the same


I said, all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin' round
All my friends are boppin′ the blues, it must be goin′ round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
(Get it captain)

Well, all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin′ round
All them cats is boppin' the blues, it must be goin′ round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound

Well, grandpa Don got rhythm, and he threw his crutches down
Oh, the old boy Don got rhythm and blues, and he threw that crutches down
Grandma, he ain't triflin′, well the old boy's rhythm bound

Well, all them cats are boppin' the blues, it must be goin′ round
All my friends are boppin′ the blues, it must be goin' round
I love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound
(Bop cat, bop)

A rock bop, rhythm, and blues
A rock bop, rhythm, and blues
A rock rock, rhythm, and blues
A rock rock, rhythm, and blues
Rhythm and blues, rhythm and blues, it must be goin′ round
