Thread Name: ADD: You Bring Out the Boogie in Me /Hot Little...
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU BRING OUT THE BOOGIE IN ME
Here are Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee's woids (which I think are also very cute, although I sang this years ago in Albuquerque and later found out that a couple of women were insulted by the innuendo...)

I don't know what you've got
But it don't take a genius to see
That whatever you've got, it's hot!
And it's burning me.
When you move like that,
When you groove like that,
You could make a blind woman see,
You're a hot little cookie,
And you bring out the boogie in me.

All the other guys I've known
Were glad when my boogie got tired.
They'd sputter and scratch
Like a match you can't set on fire.
But when you dance like that
In them pants like that,
Lord you make me jump outta my tree.
You're a hot little cookie
And you bring out the boogie in me.

Let's go down to the lake,
I could show you a thing or two.
We could spend all our time
Drinking wine in a rented canoe.
We could reel and romp,
We could kick and stomp,
We could shake the fruit down
from the tree.
You're a hot little cookie
And you bring out the boogie in me.
You're my chocolate chip cookie
And you bring out the boogie in me.

(I tinkered with the words a bit to make it the feminine version. It's one of my favorite songs, of the playful variety.)
