Honaloochie Boogie - Mott The Hoople

I was a city child with a dead end smile

And a worm’s eye point of view

Oh, I knew my way, I was a backstreet stray

And I had my eyes on you

Now I got this friend and he’s a screwdriver, jiver

You know, some kinda automo-beat on the street

And he has converted me to rock 'n' roll

I just wanna dance to

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Now get in time, don’t worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

You sure started somethin'

Now my hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger

Wanna tell Chuck Berry, my news, oh, yeah

I get my kicks outta guitar licks

And I’ve sold my steel toed shoes

Now I got this friend and he’s a spider west sider

You know, he’s hung up on a protection, rejection thing

But I have made him see the light

He just wanna dance to

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Get in time, don’t worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

You sure started somethin'

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Now get in time, don’t worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

You sure started somethin'

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Get in time, don’t worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

You sure started somethin'

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

Get in time, don’t worry 'bout the shirt shine

Honaloochie boogie, yeah

You sure started somethin'
