born to boogie

Rod Stewart

What you got?
Born to boogie

He stood five-foot-four
But was a giant of his generation
Just an East End kid
Who became a rock 'n' roll sensation
A dandy and a superstar
Who led a sexual revolution
Now when he played guitar
He was a rock god, babyface assassin
He wore a black bowler hat
and a jacket made of cherry red satin
He was a hero of mine
That's why I wrote a song about him

"Bang a Gong, " "Get It On, " "I Love to Boogie"
"Telegram Sam, " "Twentieth Century Boy"
"Ride a White Swan"
and "Children of the Revolution, " revolution

Now when the lights go down and all the crowd is swaying
Then he starts up "Jeepster, " all the girls are screaming
Wow, they're screaming all right
If you ever saw this guy
then you'll know just what I'm singing
Oh, Lord
Now when I die, I'll be rocking up in Heaven
beside him (Heaven beside him)
We'll play a twelve part blues
See if all God's children got the rhythm (Got the rhythm)
The little maestro was a genius
That's why I wanna sing about him (Sing about him)

"Bang a Gong, " "Get It On, " "I Love to Boogie"
"Telegram Sam, " "Twentieth Century Boy"
"Ride a White Swan"
and "Children of the, of the Revolution, " people

"Bang a Gong, " "Get It On, " "I Love to Boogie"
"Telegram Sam, " "Twentieth Century Boy"
"Ride a White Swan" and "Children of the Revolution"
I love to boogie
I love to boogie
Oh my, he could boogie-woogie-woogie
What a man, what a guy, what a star
Marc the genius
