Lyrics
I was feelin' kind of poorly, ooh And I hadn't been lookin' too fine I just had to find out What was ailin' this body of mine So I went to my family doctor To get my temperature and set me straight, hey And the first thing he did was to tell me to quit Eatin' every good thing I ate Whoa, and then he told me I had to stop smokin', ooh Lay off of that beer and whiskey He said, "You need all the help you can get, my friend And confidentially" He looked at me, he shook his head And like a friend, he took my hand and he said, ow "Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) "I said now, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) "Ooh, you've been over-rockin' and that ain't right You better turn on the Lord when you turn out your light I said, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) Then he wired me up like a spaceman And he turned on that cardiograph The needle went out of sight and the doc turned white And he called in his entire staff Then he cried out in disbelief, ooh And told me with stern conviction He said, "If you don't live right, son, you're gonna die Of cholesterol constriction" Yeah, he looked at me, he shook his head "Here's a prescription that I know you're gonna dread" Then he said "Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) "I said now, don't you boogie woogie, say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) "You've been over-rockin' and that ain't right You better turn on the Lord when you turn out your light I said now, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) He looked at me and shook his head "Here's a prescription that I know you're gonna dread" Then he said "Don't you boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) "Well, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight" (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) "Ooh, you've been over-rockin' and that ain't right You gotta turn on the Lord when you turn out your light Now don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight"
