C
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
G
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too 
         C                                      G7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

C
Call some other's baby that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
G
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
         C                                       G7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

C
I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
G
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
         C                                       G7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

(repeat verse 3)

C
Baby comin' now I'm hurryin' home
I know she's leavin' cause I'm takin' too long
G
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
         C                                       G7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
