Lyrics
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
A young man rhythm got a hold of me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu
Want some loving, baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
A young man rhythm got a hold of me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu
I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be running but my feet's too slow
A young man rhythm got a hold of me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu
I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be running but my feet's too slow
A young man rhythm got a hold of me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu
Baby, come on now, I'm hurrying home
I know she's leaving 'cause I'm taking too long
A young man rhythm got a hold of me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu
'Cause I'm over baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
A young man rhythm got a hold of me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and a boogie woogie flu
I wanna jump, oh yeah
I wanna hop, oh yeah
I wanna squeeze her, yeah, alright
