    This amazing beat that trembles my feet
    And rocks me, rocks me till I sleep
    Every day the beats brand new
    Falling from the sky like the morning dew
    It draws me in and swings me out
    This the type of music I’m talking about
    Making me dance the night away
    Making me twist, shout and sway
    The feeling I feel is like no other
    Moving like a hot skillet with creamy butter
    I juke and dance like a madman’s pants
    Then I up and ran with this exciting band
    As the bootleggers chased us into the woods
    Down in the bayou where the roasters roost
    Where the snakes come out and give you a boost
    We run and run with our lives on the line
    Just to jump in boggy water at the drop of a dime
    This adventurous night is far from over
    Till the sun rises west and makes the night turn older
    Those bootleggers said with a loud shout
    “Bring my money fo I shoot ya light out”
    I ran and ran cause they can’t catch me
    Till I ran into some cops trying to arrest me
    Took me down to county 15 miles up the road
    On the way there we ran over a toad
    Slick, sticky mess turned the cop car over
    I didn’t care cause I was outta there
    Running to the sun way down in the bayou
