Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo

Written by Rick Derringer, originally performed by Johnny Winter in 1970. Covered by Bootsauce and arranged by the Gossage Brothers, for the album Sleeping Bootie, 1993

(Sample A: God, I hate rock and roll.)

(Group) Ohhhhh!
(Greenwich) I couldn't stop movin' when it first took hold!
(Ling) It was a warm spring night at the old town hall!
(Fume) There was a group called The Jokers, they were layin' it down
(Group) But ya know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound!
Rock & roll hoochie koo (right on!)
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock & roll hoochie koo
Truck on out and spread the news

(Group) Ohhhhh!
(Greenwich) 'Squitos started buzzing this time of year!
(Ling) She was going round back, said she'd meet me there!
(Fume) A-we was ballin' in the grass growin' behind the barn!
(Group) When my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm! (hell yeah!)
Rock & roll hoochie koo (right on!)
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock & roll hoochie koo
Truck on out and spread the news

(Ling) Yo S.G., skidoo it!

(Group) Ohhhhh!
(Greenwich) Hope you all know what I'm talkin' about!
(Ling) The way they wiggle that bush really knocks me out!
(Fume) I'm gettin' high all the time, I hope you are too!
(Group) C'mon little closer, wanna do it to you! (yeah!)

Rock & roll hoochie koo (right on!)
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock & roll hoochie koo
Truck on out and spread the news

Notes:

• Sample A comes from the 1983 film Christine.
• When Ling calls out for "S.G.", he's calling on Sonny Greenwich Jr. to kick into a guitar break.
• This cover's lyrics are different here and there, likely to help Bootsauce's cover stand out from the original and other artists' covers.
