Half Fast Boogie - Ken Bott

Half Fast Boogie Lyrics

Can’t play it fast don’t like it too slow
Half-fast is as fast as I can go
Call it my half-fast boogie
Call it my half-fast boogie-woogie
Yeah it’s my half-fast boogie
‘Cause it’s fast as I can go
Never gonna get to be no superstar
Playin’ on the bottom end of my guitar
Just need some rhythm
So I can sing along with ‘em
Play my half-fast boogie
Fast as I can go
Well I can pick it or strum it sing it or hum it
Make it up as I go along
Can’t play too fast don’t like it too slow
Sometimes it’s right sometimes it’s wrong

Play my half-fast boogie
Playin’ it all night long
Well I’m layin’ down my half-fast boogie beat
If the crowd half-fast shuffles and stomps their feet
I’ll get ‘em half-fast swayin’
To my half-fast playin’
Play my half-fast boogie
Fast as I can go
Got a little bit of talent but no technique
All I’ve got that is unique
Is my half-fast boogie
My half-fast boogie-woogie
My spirit is willing but
My voice is gettin’ awful weak
They say you can’t teach an old doggie new tricks
Don’t matter to me I’m just getting’ some kicks
Long as they keep on swayin’
Gonna keep on playin’
My half-fast boogie
Playin’ it all night long
I really don’t wanna be
I know it’s way too late for me
Just tryin’ to have a little fun
Make some music with Luther and my two sons
Play my half-fast boogie
Play it fast as I can go
Some folks may say that I’m an old fool
Jimmy says I’m old but kinda cool
Let ‘em say whatever they say
It was lots of fun tryin’ to play
My half-fast boogie
Fast as I could go
I played my half-fast boogie and I had a ball
Right up to the last call for alcohol
Now the bar is closed; I pack my load
Time to say goodnight and hit the half-fast road
Time to say goodnight
And hit the half-fast road
Time to say goodnight
And hit the half-fast road
