OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Four ladies promenade inside that old ring
Get back home give your man a swing
Join hands and circle to the left you know
Left allemande and then you weave that old ring
*I want to kiss her but she's way too tall
Dosado and then you promenade that hall
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
I've got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

FIGURE

Heads you promenade halfway
Sides a right and left thru and turn I say
Square thru four hands go round that old floor
Dosado your corner, do an eight-chain four
*I want to squeeze her, but she's way too low
Dosado and then you promenade that floor
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
I've got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

TAG

I've got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

*I want to jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

*I want to holler but the joint's too small

*I gotta feelin' baby, you ought to know

*I want some lovin' baby, that ain't all

SEQUENCE (OPENER, FIGURE twice heads, BREAK, FIGURE twice sides, ENDING, TAG)

Rockin' Pneumonia And Boogie Woogie Flu

Lyrics ID: 126

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

Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the girl's too tall
Young man rhythm got a hold on me too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feets are too slow
Young man rhythm got a hold on me too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Baby callin' me now hurry home
I know she's leavin' 'cause I'm takin' too long
Young man rhythm got a hold on it too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and Joe Perry too, oo!

Want some lovin', baby' that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the girl's too tall
Young man rhythm got a hold on it too
I got a rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu, yow

I wanna scream, I wanna scream
Young man rhythm got a hold on it too
I got a rockin' pneumonia, what's the matter with you?
