Paragraph Lyric
Well my momma met my daddy
down in Alabama
They tied the knot so here I am
Born on the bayou on the Texas line
Loved Louisana and raised on jambalaya

Now before I could walk
I had a guitar in my hand
by the time I could talk
I had my own band
went on the road when
I was eight years old
when I turned fifteen
I was stealing the show
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
It didn't take me long to learn that
I was born to boogie

When I was eighteen I went to Hollywood
I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode
Got my guitar painted in the California sun
a red Cadillac having too much fun

Now we were playing them
halls and jammin' then until
they moved me on over to M.G.M.
They said "this is the boy
we've been telling you about"
He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out
He said "son have we got a deal for you
gonna make you a star give
you fifty thousand too"
I told him "my Momma didn't raise no fool
I'll take your money
I'll make you a movie
But I can tell ya' right now
I am born to boogie"

Well my name is Bocephus
I drink whiskey by the gallon
and I never back down
and I love a good challenge
What I do now is what I did
then I like to get down
with all my rowdy friends

Now I can be sweet
and I can be mean
I still got my hat
and I still wear my jeans
My shades are chromo
my guitar is steal
If you think I won't
then believe me I will
get down on you baby
because I ain't no rookie
I was put here to party
and I was born to boogie
