No, you're wrong
I know you think there's been enough said about old Ida Red
But this is not the old Ida Red, no sir, this is the new Ida Red
That likes the boogie
All, all together boys
Look out Ida, yeah, here they all come
Ah, Tiny

Now everybody's learning how to do the boogie woogie
They're learnin' how to shuffle and prance (yes)
What's the cutest little trick to boogie out of the sticks (uh huh)
Is Ida Red, with the boogie dance

Ida Red likes to do the boogie woogie
Ida Red likes to do the boogie woogie
She doesn't one-step or two-step or do the minuet
But she does a better boogie dancin' than anyone yet
And I'm a fool for Ida Red 

Ah, you boogie good
Well, that's all now ladies, yes, yes, 
All gather 'round now, Tiny's gonna tell us more

She used to settle on in the parlor every evening
Awaitin' for the fellas to call
But since she learned how to dance her life is full of romance
And it seems like the boys are full (uh huh)

Ida Red (Ida Red), when she does the boogie woogie
Ida Red likes to do the boogie woogie
She doesn't one-step or two-step or do the minuet
But she does a better boogie dancin' than anyone yet
And I'm a fool for Ida Red
