We were just a plain old hillbilly band
With a plain old country style
We never played the kind of songs
That'd drive anybody wild
Played a railroad song
With a stomping beat
We played a blues song
Kinda slow and sweet
But the thing that knocked
Them off of their feet was
Ooh-wee
When Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie
In the strangest kind of way
Play it strange
Well, we did our best to entertain
Everywhere we'd go
We'd nearly wear our fingers off
To give the folks a show
Played jumping jive
To make them get in the groove
We played sad songs
Real slow and smooth
But the only thing
That'd make them move was
Ooh-wee
When Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie
In the strangest kind of way
Now, didn't Luther play the boogie strange?
