Boogie Fever Lyrics

Boogie fever
Got to boogie down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around

I took my baby to the drive in show
She turned the speaker down
And then she turned on the radio
I watched a silent movie, diggin' funky sound

She's got the boogie fever
She likes to boogie down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around

I took my baby too the pizza parlor
To get a bite to eat
I put some money in the jukebox for her
You know she ate her pizza dancing to the beat

She's got the boogie fever
She likes to boogie down
She's got the boogie fever
I think it's going around

All night long, we did the bump, bump, bump
Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did, yeah
She kept it going strong, doin' the bump, bump, bump
Doin' the bump, bump, bump

I called the doctor on the telephone
Doctor, doctor
Said doctor, doctor, please
I, I, I, I got this feeling rockin' and a'reelin'
Tell me, what can it be, is it some new disease?

They call it boogie fever
You've got to boogie down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around
Fever, fever, fever

All night long, we did the bump, bump, bump
Yes we did, yes we did, yes we did
We kept it going strong doin' the bump, bump, bump

Everybody's got the boogie fever
Boogie down, now get on down, now get on down
Boogie fever
I think it's going around
And around, and around

I got the boogie fever
And I said you got the boogie fever
I said she's got the boogie fever
Everybody's got the boogie fever

Boogie fever
Boogie down
Just get on down, just get on down
Boogie fever

Among the more popular family acts on the '70s R&B circuit, Memphis' Sylvers recorded for Pride, MGM, Capitol, Casablanca, and Geffen during their 13-year chart run. No less than nine of the ten brothers and sisters in the family — Olympia, Leon, Charmaine, James, Edmund, Ricky, Angie, Pat, Foster — performed in the group that was viewed as a Southern version of the Jackson 5. Their 1972 Pride single "Fool's Paradise" got things going in the right direction, reaching number 14 on the R&B charts. They had three other Top Ten R&B hits in the '70s, but their biggest song was "Boogie Fever" in 1975. It perfectly captured the disco spirit and topped both the R&B and pop charts that year. "Hot Line" was another Top Ten on both lists in 1976, and their second biggest single. They scored another Top 20 R&B single on Casablanca in 1978, "Don't Stop, Get Off," but the charming qualities of their earlier material seemed more calculated. They couldn't recapture the spark during their mid-'80s period on Geffen.
