        C
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
G
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
          C                                       G7
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Verse 2:
Call some other's baby that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Verse 3:
I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feets too slow
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

(repeat opening instrumental)

(repeat verse 3)

Verse 4:
Baby comin' now I'm hurryin' home
I know she's leavin' cause I'm takin' too long
Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

(repeat opening instrumental and fade)
