Witten by ： Huey P. Smith

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

I wanna holler but the joint's too small

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

I want some loving baby that ain't all

I wanna kiss him but he's way too tall

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze him but I'm way too low

I would be running but my feet's too slow

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

Rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze him but I'm way to low

I would be running but my feet's too slow

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

Let me come on now I'm hurrying home

I know he's leaving 'cause I'm taking too long

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

I wanna holler but the joint's too small

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

I want some loving baby that ain't all

Want some loving

I wanna kiss him but he's way too tall

Old man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got the rocking pneumonia

And the boogie woogie flu

Rocking pneumonia

Boogie woogie flu
