about

I was drunk at a wedding and started to dance by myself. The Ex yelled out for me to sit down. Embarassed, I did, and wrote this song.

lyrics

YOU CANT TAKE THE BOOGIE

A 12 bar Jump Blues

I got lot of natural rhythm,  helps me keep the beat
There is no dance I cant do I think she's jealous of me
cuz when I start to dancing she says

Rusty Get back in your seat

You Cant take the boogie x4
Cant take the boogie out of the man
honey thats down right mean

when I start to moving I get up on my feet
I'm a shuffling and jiving to that boogie beat
When I start to dance now she says
Rusty Get back in your seat
  
Guitar SOLO / Sax SOLO 12 bar x 2

baby your so good lookin but your downright mean
I must of been mistaken when i thought you so neat
you wont let me rock and roll
Rusty Get back in your seat

Chorus x2
