I was feelin' kind of poorly, hadn't been lookin' too fine I just had to found out what was ailin' this old body of mine So I went to my family doctor To get my temperature and set me straight And the first thing he did was to tell me To quit eatin' every good thing I ate And he told old Jerry Lee to stop smokin' Lay off of that beer and whiskey He said, son you gonna have to have a little help And confidentially he looked at Jerry Lee He shook his head, and then he said Like a friend he took my hand and he said: Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) Son, you can't boogie woogie when you send your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) Jerry Lee, you been over-rockin', you know that it ain't right You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) He wired me up like spaceman and he turned on the cardiograph The needle went out of sight, the doc turned white He called in his entire staff And he cried out in disbelief Told the killer with staring conviction He said, if you don't live right son You're gonna die of cholesterol constriction He looked at me, he shook his head Here's a perspective that I think you're gonna dread You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) You can't do it, you can't do it son, it ain't right (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) You better quit rockin' boy, you know it ain't right You better turn on Jesus when you switch off the light Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) Wow, give it to me now! Oh, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight (Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie) Son, you been over-rockin' and you know that it ain't right You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
although not being well known, this is one of the most awesome songs of jerry lee
I was feelin' kind of poorly, hadn't been lookin' too fine
I just had to found out what was ailin' this old body of mine
So I went to my family doctor
To get my temperature and set me straight
And the first thing he did was to tell me
To quit eatin' every good thing I ate
And he told old Jerry Lee to stop smokin'
Lay off of that beer and whiskey
He said, son you gonna have to have a little help
And confidentially he looked at Jerry Lee
He shook his head, and then he said
Like a friend he took my hand and he said:
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Son, you can't boogie woogie when you send your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Jerry Lee, you been over-rockin', you know that it ain't right
You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
He wired me up like spaceman and he turned on the cardiograph
The needle went out of sight, the doc turned white
He called in his entire staff
And he cried out in disbelief
Told the killer with staring conviction
He said, if you don't live right son
You're gonna die of cholesterol constriction
He looked at me, he shook his head
Here's a perspective that I think you're gonna dread
You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
You can't do it, you can't do it son, it ain't right
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
You better quit rockin' boy, you know it ain't right
You better turn on Jesus when you switch off the light
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Wow, give it to me now!
Oh, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
You can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
(Don't boogie woogie, don't boogie woogie)
Son, you been over-rockin' and you know that it ain't right
You better turn on Jesus when you switch out the light
Don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
Love this song, always picture this song should be in the blues brothers movie in the church scene, with Jerry’s old pal James Brown.
mr Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive! yeah!
Just love it
Oui,j’aime beaucoup !
fucking top song killer..
Mashallah
Who’s playing the piano it Ain’t JLL 🤔
Might be Hargus "pig" Robbins, session piano player for JLL.
It is. Why wouldn’t it be?
This is a good song to sing in a bible thumping conservative church LOL
a good version to be sure, but I still prefer Ray Stevens' version.
