"Bopping The Blues" lyrics

Bopping The Blues

Well, all my friends are bopping the blues
It must be going round
All my friends are bopping the blues
It must be going round
I love you, baby
But I must be rhythm bound

Well, the doctor told me
Carl you don't need no pills
Yes, the doctor told me
Boy, you don't need no pills
Just a handful of nickels
The jukebox will cure your ills

Well, all my friends are bopping the blues
It must be going round
All them cats are bopping the blues
It must be going round
I love you, baby
I must be rhythm bound

Well, the old cat bug bit me
Man, I don't feel no pain
Yeah, that jitterbug caught me
Man, I don't feel no pain
I still love you baby
But I'll never be the same

I said, all my friends are bopping the blues
It must be going round
All my friends are bopping the blues
It must be going round
I love you, baby
But I must be rhythm bound

Well, all my friends are bopping the blues
It must be going round
All them cats are bopping the blues
And it must be going round
I love you, baby
But I must be rhythm bound

Well, grandpa Don got rhythm
And he threw his crutches down
Oh the old boy Don got rhythm and blues
And he threw that crutches down
Grandma, he ain't trifling
Well the old boy's rhythm bound

Well, all them cats are bopping the blues
And it must be going round
All my friends are bopping the blues
And it must be going round
I love you, baby
I must be rhythm bound

A rock bop, rhythm and blues
A rock bop, rhythm and blues
A rock rock, rhythm and blues
A rock rock, rhythm and blues
Rhythm and blues
It must be going round
