I was a city child with a dead-end smile
And a worms-eye point of view
Oh I knew my way, I was a back-street stray
And I had my eyes on you
Now I got this friend and hes a screwdriver-jiver
You know, some kinda automobeat on the street
And he has converted me to rocknroll
I just wanna dance to
Honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, dont 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
I get my kicks outta guitar licks
And Ive sold my steel-toed shoes
Now I got this friend and hes a spider west-sider
You know, hes 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, dont worry bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah
You sure started somethin
Honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, dont worry bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah
You sure started somethin
