C5
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

I wanna holler but the joint's too small
G5
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too 
         C5                                      G5
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu


C5
Call some other's baby that ain't all

I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
G5
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
         C5                                       G5
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu


C5
I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low

I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
G5
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
         C5                                       G5
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

(repeat verse 3)


C5
Baby comin' now I'm hurryin' home

I know she's leavin' cause I'm takin' too long
G5
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
         C5                                       G5
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
