Back in the year nineteen and five
We had to have a rhythm very much alive
We didn't have thing
Still we'd sing
We had to walk for the king til' the bell would ring
Hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
Sure feels good
I can't dance but I wish I could
Now Queen Victoria gave a costume ball
Bow to your lady turn your back to the wall
One guy jumped up in a ratty zoot suit
Ripped off his mask he wanted to see if the sucker flew
Hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
Sure feels good
I can't dance but I wish I could
Back in the Coliseum man oh Rome
Caesar and Cleopatra make themselves at home
Julie said to Cleo, let's take a little walk
Cleo said to Julius shut up and don't talk
Hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
Gimme such a thrill
I wanna dance I wish I could
Hey inside outside every all around
We got to hava hava the hypnotizin' boogie type of sound
If you ain't heard it
You wish to know
I'll give you a little taste just before I go
Hypnotizin' boogie
Hoo hypnotizin' boogie
It's that hypnotizin' boogie
Gimme such a thrill
I wanna dance I think I will
I wanna dance I think I will
I wanna dance I think I will
