Born in Mississippi, don't know when
Delta rocked his cradle, the blues within
Daddy played the guitar taught him rock to blues
The boy left for Memphis to pay some dues
Something in the boy had to get out
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
Nothin's gonna stop the boogie man
Up in Detroit, Hasting Street
Everybody danced when they heard that beat
Boogie Chillin' made history
So began his legacy
Didn't need a mouth made his own way
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
Nothin's gonna stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
Nothin's gonna stop the boogie man
Heard the news the other day
The boogie man passed away
Changed the world with his soul
He left a child called rock and roll
He said when I'm gone I won't be gone
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
You can't stop the boogie man
Nothin's gonna stop the boogie man
Boogie woogie all night long
Boogie woogie
He said when I'm gone I won't be gone
Cause I'm gonna still be boogiein'
Boogie woogie all night long
Boogie
Oh yeah
The whole world will get boogie
When I'm gone I won't be gone
Cause I'm gonna boogie
