don't boogie woogie (when you say your prayers tonight)

Lyrics

i was feelin' kind of poorly, hadn't been lookin' too fine, i just had to found out what was ailin' this old body of mine, so i went to my family doctor, to get my temperature and set me straight, and the first thing he did was to tell me, to quit eatin' every good thing i ate, and he told old jerry lee to stop smokin', lay off of that beer and whiskey, he said, son you gonna have to have a little help, and confidentially he looked at jerry lee, he shook his head, and then he said, like a friend he took my hand and he said: don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight, son, you can't boogie woogie when you send your prayers tonight, jerry lee, you been over-rockin', you know that it ain't right, you better turn on jesus when you switch out the light, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight, he wired me up like spaceman and he turned on the cardiograph, the needle went out of sight, the doc turned white, he called in his entire staff, and he cried out in disbelief, told the killer with staring conviction, he said, if you don't live right son, you're gonna die of cholesterol constriction, he looked at me, he shook his head, here's a perspective that i think you're gonna dread, you can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight, you can't do it, you can't do it son, it ain't right, you better quit rockin' boy, you know it ain't right, you better turn on jesus when you turn off the light, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight, wow, give it to me now!, oh, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight, you can't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight, son, you been over-rockin' and you know that it ain't right, you better turn on jesus when you switch off the light, don't boogie woogie when you say your prayers tonight
