fly me over any mountain you want
make me swim any ocean you can
but don't take my boogie
I wanna listen to the boogie man
but don't take my boogie
I gotta listen to the boogie man

that's John Lee the boogie man
how, how, how, how

many tried to imitate the great man of boogie
many try and don't even rate the great man of boogie
fly me over any mountain you want
but don't take my boogie
I gotta listen to the boogie man

It soothes my soul that how, how, how
it makes me feel good, ah lord it makes me feel good
