Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 juke box will cure your ills
[Verse 3]
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, but I must be rhythm bound
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 cat, now bop
[Verse 6]
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, but I must be rhythm bound
[Verse 7]
Well, grand-pa Don got rhythm and he threw his crutches down
Oh, the old boy Don got rhythm and blues
And her threw that crutches down
Grand-ma, he ain't triflin', well the old boy's rhythm bound
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
A rock, bop, rhythm and blues
A rock, bop, rhythm and blues
A rock, bop, rhythm and blues
A rock, bop, rhythm and blues
Rhythm and blues, it must be goin' round
