I wanna jump but

I'm afraid I'll fall

I wanna holler but

the joint's too small

Young man rhythm's

got a hold of me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia

and the boogie woogie flu

Want some lovin' baby

That ain't all

I wanna kiss her but

she's way too tall

Young man rhythm's

got a hold of me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia

and the boogie woogie flu

Wanna squeeze her

but I'm way too low

I would be runnin'

but my feets too slow

Young man rhythm's

got a hold of me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia

and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her

but I'm way too low

I would be runnin'

but my feets too slow

Young man rhythm's

got a hold of me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia

and the boogie woogie flu

Baby, comin' now

I'm hurryin' home

I know she's leavin'

'cause I'm takin' too long

Young man rhythm's

got a hold of me too

I got the rockin' pneumonia

and the boogie woogie flu
