Trout Fishing In America - Sam`s Last Boogie слова песни
(K. Grimwood/E. Idlet)In the darkest part of the city,And on the coldest night of the year,A dangerous man with a gun in his handPut an end to a brief career.You won`t read about it in the paper,You won`t hear about it on the news,But handsome Sam the Boogie Manhung up his dancing shoes.Let me tell you `bout Sam the Boogie ManHe was the king of Second StreetHe was a dancer from his fingertipsTo the bottoms of his feet.Well, inside that boy an unnatural joyJust swinging to the beat.His dips and slides would mesmerizeEach woman that he`d meet.And that boy could boogie!Sure could boogie!Yeah, boogie was the beat that moved the feetOf Sam that Boogie Man.Well, Ruby was this showgirlwith opalescent eyes,An ivory smile and a diamond heart,And alabaster thighs.He met her in the summertimeOut on a parquet floor,And he danced her from those neon lightsRight to her bedroom door.And that boy could boogie!Sure could boogie!Yeah, boogie was the beat that moved the feetOf Sam that Boogie Man.He thought it was another fling,But that girl was much too strong,She swore that she would see him deadIf he ever did her wrong.As summer lost its leaves to fall,So this fine affairWas fading fast, it couldn`t last;Sam vanished in the air.And that boy could boogie!Sure could boogie!Yeah, boogie was the beat that moved the feetOf Sam that Boogie Man.Well, he couldn`t go to dance halls`cause he knew that he`d be found;But he slipped up in Saint Louie,When he heard that boogie sound.And he was tearing up the dance floorwhen they escorted him outside;Said, "You want to dance, well here`s your chance."And they took him for a little ride.It was Sam`s last boogie,Sam`s last boogie,It was Sam`s last boogiebut he boogied `til the day he died!
