Hooker Thing

Well, my mama don’t allow me
Just to stay out all night long
Yeah, said my mama don’t allow me
Just to stay out all night long
I didn’t care mama didn’t allow
I had to boogie-woogie on my own

One night I was laying down
Heard my mama n’ papa talkin’
Heard papa tell mama
“Let that boy boogie-woogie
‘Cause it in him
And it’s got to come out”

Boogie too long
That’s that old John Lee Hooker shit man
Yeah, yeah
(That’s good)
That’s one of the first things I ever learned how to play man, yeah
