Back in the alley, lookin' like a long-lost friend, oh yeah.
I know for certain there won't be no jive,
We're back in business, and you know I can fly, fly, fly.
Oh my my, travelin' high! Yeah.
Hey, hey, it's been a long long time, yeah,
But if it's all right, you know you're gonna blow my mind, oh yeah,
'Cause I'm a natural boogie-woogie fool,
Ain't good for nothin' but chasin' down the hoochie-coo.
Oh my my, travelin' high! Yeah.
Now whatcha gonna do with the old rockin' chair, Mmm-hmm,
Just sit you right down, start to rock, start to rock,
Start to rockin' away from here,
'Cause you ain't nothin' but a struttin' fool,
Back in the alley with the hoochie-coochie-coo.
Oh my my, travelin' high, high, high! Yeah.
