Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu Songtext
von Huey “Piano” Smith & His Clowns

I want to jump but I′m afraid I'll fall
I want to holler but the joint′s too small
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I've got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Calls another baby, that ain′t all
I want to kiss her but she′s way too tall
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I′ve got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu


I want to squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be running but my feet′s too slow
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I′ve got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I want to squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be running but my feet's too slow
Young man river′s got a hold of me too
I′ve got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Baby's coming now, I′m running home
I know she's leaving because I′m taking too long
Young man river's got a hold of me too
I′ve got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
