When Luther's played the boogie woogie Luther's played the boogie woogie Luther's played the boogie Luther's played the boogie woogie Luther's played the boogie Luther's played the boogie woogie Luther played the boogie Luther's played the boogie in the strangest kind of way (Play it strange) [ guitar ] Well we did our best to entertrain everywhere we'd go We'd nearly wear our fingers off just to give the folks a show We played the jumpin' jive to make 'em get in the groove We played the sad songs real slow and smooth But the only thing that we make 'em move was oo-wee
When Luther's played the boogie... [ guitar ] (Now didn't Luther play the boogie strange)
