I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold It was a warm spring night in the ol' town hall There was a group called The Jokers, they were layin' it down Don't ya know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo Lawdy mama light my fuse Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo Truck on out and spread the news The skeeters start buzzing 'bout this time o' year I'm goin' round back, she said she'd meet me there We were rollin' in the grass that grows behind the barn When my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo Lawdy mama light my fuse Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo Truck on out and spread the news Hope y'all know what I'm talkin' about The way they wiggle that thing, it really knocks me out I'm gettin' high all the time, hope ya'll are too Well come-on a little closer, gonna do it to you Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo Lawdy mama light my fuse Rock and roll, Hoochie Koo Truck on out and spread the news That I'm tired of payin' dues Done said goodbye to all my blues Lawdy mama light my fuse
