Well I come down off my mountain
When my papa said "Now lookie here, son
You can't stay here all the rest of your days
I know you've got something somewhere
If you don't, you'll beg a fool
I know you must have some love somewhere
Or something they can teach you right in your school"

You'd better boogie, you've gotta boogie
Boogie till the very next day, oh

Now when your papa says
"This liquor's getting me straight"
You know you're gonna hurt before a long wait
Daddy says "Don't act so dumb
Don't worry about wearing your lost coat
Don't take your lovе in your hand"
So you fly, so you land
But you will learn that one

Is to boogie, you'vе got to boogie
Boogie till the very next day, oh
Girl, you've gotta boogie, you've gotta boogie
Boogie till the very next day, oh

Now your mother, she done told you, yes I'm sure
And your doctor, he'll tell you too
You've got some kind of problem inside you
Now what you gonna do?
You'll understand and you're gonna hide
You'll lift up your head and say "Oh my my"
You're gonna listen to what your TV says
Well I say, honey, you'd better learn to dance
You'd better boogie, you've got to boogie
Boogie till the very next day, oh
I said you've gotta boogie, we like to boogie
Boogie till the very next day
