I know it isn't "folkie," but: I need the chords to a Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee song, "You Bring out the Boogie in Me," which I've also heard called, "Hot Little Cookie." I have the words, need the chords, if anyone has them, so as to spare my friend-the-guitarist some time figuring it out.

Anyone already have them? (This is a major long-shot, but what the hey?)

This was written by my good buddy from Milwaukee, Larry Penn. It goes:

I'm a hot little cookie, yes I am,
I was made by the cookie man,
On the way from the cookie pan
A hot little piece fell off of me,
Fell off of me, fell off of me, unh, hunh,
Fell off of me, fell off of me, unh, hunh,
But can taste just as good as a regular cookie can.

(This just popped into my head. It sure does change Larry's song to put the word "hot" in there!!)

****BIG SMILE***

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.)
