Jump Shout Boogie Lyrics

Jump Shout Boogie

-did NOT chart on Billboard

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

Well, not too long ago in nineteen forty-four
When every mother's son was goin' off to war
They had to lift they spirits high (High!)
For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie
Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to hear the kind of jazz
You hear in funky honky-tonks

It made you wanna
Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin (yeah!)
And when the fuzz (fuzz) buzzed (buzzed), they'd join in
So everybody partied 'till the cows came home
'cause that's what boogie's for
And every night that dump would jump (jump, jump)
And keep 'em comin' back for more

Because it made you wanna
Jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)

It made you wanna
Jump (jump!), shout (shout!)
(Foo-der-acka-sacki)
Wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!)
(Slip the talcum to me Malcom)
You wanna jump (jump!), shout (shout!)
(Floy-doy, floy-doy)
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'

You could jump (jump!), shout (shout!), knock yourself out
A boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha

(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(doot, doot, doot doo, yeah)
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)
FADE
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Shake it, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Barry Manilow (born June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, producer, conductor, and performer, best known for such recordings as "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)."

In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equaled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis. He has recorded a string of Billboard hit singles and multi-platinum albums that have resulted in his being named Radio & Records number one Adult Contemporary artist and winning three straight American Music Awards for Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist. Several well-known entertainers have given Manilow their "stamp of approval," including Sinatra, who was quoted in the 1970s regarding Manilow, "He's next." In 1988, Bob Dylan stopped Manilow at a party, hugged him and said, "Don't stop what you're doing, man. We're all inspired by you."

As well as producing and arranging albums for other artists, such as Bette Midler and Dionne Warwick, Manilow has written songs for musicals, films, and commercials. From February 2005 to December 30, 2009, he was the headliner at the Las Vegas Hilton, performing hundreds of shows before ending relationship with the hotel.
