Well, my momma met my daddy down in Alabama
They tied the knot so here I am
Born on the bayou on the Texas Line
Loved in Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya
Now before I could walk, I had a guitar in my hand
ย
By the time I could talk, I had my own band
I went on the road when I was eight years old
When I turned fifteen, I was stealing the show
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
It didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie
When I was eighteen, I went to Hollywood
ย
I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode
Got my guitar painted to dance the California Sun
A red Cadillac having to much fun
Now we were playing them halls and jammin'
ย
Then back we moved it on over to M.G.M.
They said, "This is the boy we've been telling you about"
He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out
He said, "Son have, we got a deal for you"
ย
"I'm gonna make you a star, give you fifty thousand, too"
I told him my momma didn't raise no fool
I'll take your money, I'll make you a movie
But I can tell ya right now, I was born to boogie
Well, my name is Bocephus, I drink a whiskey by the gallon
ย
And I never back down and I love a good challenge
What I do now is what I did then
I like to get down with all my rowdy friends
Now I can be sweet and I can be mean
ย
I still got my hat and I still wear my jeans
My shades are chrome, my guitar's steal
If you think I won't then believe me I will
Get down on you baby 'cause I ain't no rookie
I was put here to party and I was born to boogie
