Can't Kill The Boogieman

Crazy lazy days back in The UK
 Art school we wore a gang sweatshirt
 Guess what it said
 My political stance was to get people to dance
 And still stand by it today
 John Lee Hooker for president
 When I was 25 and so full of life
 John Lee took me by the hand
 In a GTO we did go into the fiery heart of a ghetto land
 Living in a land where a man is no man
 Until he's been to hell and back
 One thing you've got to understand
 You can't kill the boogieman
 They're placing bets on John but don't listen
 I tell everybody as long as you're around
 The blues will always be living
 Can't kill the boogieman
 Can't kill the boogieman
 Can't kill the boogieman No
 Lord his ever shaking hand a buzz around the room
 The power of a serpent in his finger
 Relax release and let your mind drift away
 You've got to be saved
 Boogie the night away
 Can't kill the boogieman (x3)
 You know what they're talking about John
 Your birthday I get to play
 I tell everybody as long as you're around
 The blues will be living that's what's coming down
 Can't kill the boogieman (x4)
 So I got down the road and that's my tale
 Nobody knows me but they all know John
 Healing hand one thing you've got to understand
 Can't kill the boogieman
 Boogie boogie all night long
 All night blues and this is what the boogie can do for you
 Can't kill the boogieman
 (Eric Burdon)
