Lyrics for I Want to Boogie with You

Hey pretty baby Don't you think you might give me a chance Get it on with me Go downtown for some love and romance And I know I ain't nothing I ain't worth but a thin dime But if you put your heart in my hands I'm sure that I could change your mind I wanna boogie with you Yeah, I wanna boogie with you There's something, baby, that your parents Both agreed And that is that they both had it Deep distrust for me And your best friend Frankie Well I know your best friend Frankie, he wants to see me sink And I don't much blame him for that He gets so useless after so few drinks, you know, baby I wanna boogie with you I wanna boogie with you Well I know your little baby sister She thinks that I'm a flop But I guess that you know that it's true I spent more time at the bottom than the top Tell your little sister I know she wants to give me a whirl But I don't have the time, baby To wait till she's grown up and she's a woman, not a girl Don't you know I wanna boogie with you Hey, I wanna boogie with you I wanna boogie with you I wanna boogie with you, yeah Boogie with you Down on the corner Boogie with you, yeah
