"Boogie Man" lyrics

"Boogie Man"
(originally by Freddie King)

I got a funky reputation
'Cause I like to get low down
And all of you mothers, better lock up your daughters
'Cause the boogie man's in town
They call me "The Boogie Man"
Nobody can do it like I can
They call me "The Boogie Man"
I'm a king-sized boogie man

The sheriff has got my number
He locked me up last fall
'Cause I taught his daughter how to do the boogie
And I can't go back at all
They call me "The Boogie Man"
Nobody can do it like I can
They call me "The Boogie Man"
I'm a king-sized boogie man

I used to play in a traveling band
Down on the county line
I went down there to do some boogie
And I wound up doing time
They call me "The Boogie Man"
Nobody can do it like I can
They call me "The Boogie Man"
I'm a king-sized boogie man

I tell all you, good-time women
And you debutantes on the ball
Just a little taste of my good boogie
And I'll make you climb the walls
They call me "The Boogie Man"
Nobody can do it like I can
They call me "The Boogie Man"
I'm a king-sized boogie man
