Jump Shout Boogie Lyrics


Well, not too long ago in nineteen forty-four
When every mother's son was goin' off to war
They had to lift their spirits high
For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pieInstead of spendin' money that they didn't have
In hot spots in the bronx
They went to hear the kind of jazz
You hear in funky honky-tonksIt made you wanna jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies, you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'You could jump, shout and knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to townIt had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall
Then they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz buzzed they'd join inSo everybody partied 'til the cows came home
'Cause that's what boogie's for
And every night that dump would jump

And keep 'em comin' back for moreBecause it made you wanna jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies, you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'You could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull the switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to townIt made you wanna jump, shout
(Foo-der-acka-sacki)
Wanna jump, shout
(Slip the talcum to me Malcom)
You wanna jump, shout
(Floy-doy, floy-doy)
To the boogie-woogie music
The piano man was playin'And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to townShake it, yes, yes, yes
Shake it, yes, yes, yes
Shake it, yes, yes, yes

Barry Manilow (born June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, producer, conductor, and performer, best known for such recordings as "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)."

In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equaled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records number one Adult Contemporary artist and winning three straight American Music Awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. Several well-known entertainers have given Manilow their "stamp of approval," including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s regarding Manilow, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."

As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, such as Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials.
