The Hoot Owl Boogie - Red Foley

Oh, down in the pine woods and over in the holler

You buy a jug of squeezin' for two silver dollars

You never catch 'em workin' and still they keep it thrivin'

But when they hear a boogie beat they really get to jivin'

They love to do the boogie to the hoot owl boogie all night

And they go «Hoot» they really started somethin'

With their hoot and everything is alright

Hoot, the woods are really jumpin' with the hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night

The gals work in dresses and they’re kinda slow and talkin'

You think you got a cutie, you take her out and walkin'

Stollin' arm and arm beneath the lonesome pines

You’re bound to get a kiss sweet as cherry wine

And then you do the boogie to the hoot owl boogie all night

And she goes «Hoot» you really started somethin'

With with their hoot and everything is alright

Hoot, my happy heart is jumpin' with the hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night

You take your baby home when daylight comes a peepin'

You never have to worry if the old folks are sleepin'

Hear the rooster crowin' and the hound dog

Then you hear a car turn to her and say

Well sister done the boogie, well the hoot owl boogie all night

And they go «Hoot» they really started somethin'

With the hoot and everything is alright

Hoot, the woods are really jumpin' with the hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night

Hoot-hoot, hoot, hoot-hoot, hoot, hoot-hoot

The hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night
