Babylon Zoo Lyrics
"Honaloochie Boogie"

I was a city child with a dead-end smile
A worms-eye point of view
I knew my way, I was a back-street stray
I had my eyes on you

Now I got this friend, he's a screwdriver-jiver
You know some kind of automobeat on the street
And he has converted me to rock 'n' roll

Now I just wanna dance to, Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie, yeah, get in time,
Don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

My hair gets longer as the beat gets stronger
Wanna tell Chuck Berry my news
Now I get my kicks outta guitar licks
I've sold my steel-toed shoes

Now I got this friend and he's a spider west-sider
You know, he's hung up on a protection rejection thing
But I have made him see the light

He just wanna dance to, Honaloochie boogie, yeah
Get in time, don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie, yeah, get in time,
Don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something

Honaloochie boogie yeah, get in time,
Don't worry 'bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie yeah, you sure started something
Honaloochie boogie, yeah...
