Rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna jump, but I'm afraid I would fall,
I wanna holler, but the joint is too small.
Young man rhythm got a hold of me too,
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.


I want some lovin' baby that ain't small,
I wanna to kiss, but the girl's too tall.
Young man rhythm got a hold of me too,
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.

I wanna scream, I want you all to know,
I would be runnin', but my feet are too slow.
Young man rhythm got a hold of me too,
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.

Baby  come on, now I met a girl,
I gotta hurry, 'cause I take it too long.
Young man rhythm got a hold of me too,
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.

I wanna scream, I want you all to know,
I would be runnin', but my feet are too slow.
Young man rhythm got a hold of me too,
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.
