In France, they’ve got a dance
A feel real crazy dance
A touch of class and a dash of romance
Feel that crazy dance

Boogie woogie dance
Boogie woogie dance

In Spain, they give it a name
A real chic cheeky name
One you know it you’re not the same
But you really take a chance

Boogie woogie dance
Boogie woogie dance

In Brazil, they got a pill
A real hard power packed pill
Take one too many you’ll feel quite ill
But you really take a change

Do the boogie woogie dance
Boogie woogie dance

Oh dance, get out and dance
