It isn't easy to pronounce it
But it's breezy when they bounce it
Come a rockin' to the
Shocking boogie woogie maxixe
Danceable, romanceable
And easy to teach

On the level, it will win ya
Brings the devil from within ya
It's a rowdy-dowdy rhythm
That's becoming a fad
More popular than rum in Trinidad

From the shores of Costa Rica
To the sidewalks of Topeka
You will find it gettin' around
From the Shenandoah Valley
To the Beach at Bali Bali
Like a wildfire coverin' ground

Try it honey, nothing to it
Bet yer money you can do it
Come a rockin' to the shocking
Boogie woogie maxixe
That new boogie woogie maxixe

Come a rockin' to the boogie
It will win ya
Here's a rhythm that's
Out of this world
