The Babylon Boogie
There has been speculation about its origin
Everyone wonders how the Boogie began
Some say its roots were African
Others say its "Jungle Joe" and his kin
But I'm here to tell you a brand new way
There's been Jump Boogie since the Bible Days
Back in 689 BC there was a party town where people were free
They were loose and naked, having a ball
They worshipped Bacchus and the Bacchanal
He was the Roman god of wine and revelry
They were doing the Babylon Boogie
Chorus:
It's the babylon Boogie
It's the big sin Boogie
So let's get drunk and loose and free
When we do the Babylonian Boogie Woogie
There was wine and there was Gin
And that's the time it all begins
Grab your grape leaves and get in line
Everybody here is gonna have a good time
Shed your toga, jump and shout
The neighbors will ask you what all the noise is about
You don't need no wealth and luxury
Just get down with the Babylon Boogie
Chorus:
It's the babylon Boogie
It's the big sin Boogie
So let's get drunk and loose and free
When we do the Babylonian Boogie Woogie
