[C] [F] [Cm]
[C] You [F] [F] know, I remember
[C] a few years ago, [Dm]
[G] some funny things used to happen [Cm] to me, [Dm] [F] [D] about [C] 1956,
57.
[G] [C]
At that time there was no blues scene or not really any kind of scene in [F] London.
[Bb] [F] I used to go out [C] and play my guitar in the streets [G] and [E] sing [F] things, [C] with a pass on the
hat band.
I remember one particular night, I was playing my guitar in a little alleyway
just off of Waldo [F] Street in Soho, and [C] I got busted by the [G] police.
[F] This policeman [C] came
up and [Ab]
[G] dragged me and my guitar [C] and my hat full of pennies [F] off to the police station.
[C] Anyway, the next day I [F] had to appear in Marlborough Street Police Court, [Gm] [C]
and [G] there was quite a
[C] day.
[F] [D] [C] The police officer [Gm] giving his evidence.
[C] I was proceeding in a summerly direction,
my lord, [F] when I heard strange [Eb] sounds [C] coming [Cm] from [C] a walled-off place, my [G] lord.
A [C] sort [F] of
[A] boogey [G]-woogey [C] music was being played.
[G] On further [C] investigation, I saw the defendant standing
there [F] with a guitar and an old hat on [C] the floor, collecting pennies.
[G] Well, I decided
that [F] he was contravening [C] a breach of the peace there,
[G] [C] as there was a traffic jam about five
miles long down Waldo Street, wondering what all the fuss was [F] about.
So then I arrested
the [C] defendant.
[G] Just one moment, officer.
[C] [F] [D] What [C] is this boogey-woogey music [Gm] you're playing?
What is it you were talking about?
[C] Oh, well, my lord, said the officer getting out his
notebook, obviously been doing up his homework, [F] is a kind of jazz rhythm [C] music peculiar to
the American Negro.
[G] Oh, [F] what was the defendant doing [C] playing this kind of music there [G] in
Waldo [C] Street?
Anyway, I got off with a caution.
[F] A year's conditional discharge, but I'll always
[C] remember that policeman and his boogey-woogey.
[G] So don't try to lay no [F] boogey [Fm]-woogey on the
[G] king of rock and roll.
[C]
[Eb] [C]
[Cm] [C]
[F]
I [C] don't want to hear no backtalk.
I'm speaking to no one.
Shut [Cm] your mouth.
[G] Everything is
going to work out tight [F] if you act [Cm] like you've [Fm] been told.
[Cm] Just don't try [Ebm] to lay no boogey-woogey
on the king of rock [G] and roll.
[C]
Don't feed me no TV dinners when you know that [Cm] I'm yours
to stake.
[Bb] [C] I don't need no rank against those women's time to shake [Cm] the shake.
[F] You better
pull your thing together with your men dusted out.
[C] And if you feel that you're just dancing
and you know [Cm] you don't know what it's all about, [G] it ain't a matter of parkabings.
[F] That's
not going to justify your soul.
[Cm] Just don't try to lay [Eb] no boogey-woogey on the king of
rock and [Gm] roll.
[E]
[Gm]
[A]
[F]
[Gm]
[G]
[F]
[C] Don't [Bb] try [Cm] to lay no boogey-woogey on [B] the king of [Cm] rock and roll.
When a wild girl started to shine, [C] so people ran [Cm] on [C] me.
If you don't arrive too late for
your wife, put your heads in 53.
[Cm] [F] You got what it takes [Cm] to keep their heads from [F] spinning.
Now I'm out of your red shack.
[C] But you [Cm] come on just like a fool, grinning in the back
of a red Cadillac.
[G] You can't come across the Oxford Bridge [F] until you pay the toll.
[Fm] [Cm] So don't
try to lay no boogey-woogey on the king of rock and [Gm] roll.
