Yes Sir, I Can Boogie – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Mister
Your eyes are full of hesitation
Sure makes me wonder
If you know what you're looking for
Umm, baby
I wanna keep my reputation
I'm a sensation
You try me once, you'll beg for more, ooh
Yes sir, I can boogie
But I need a certain song
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
Yes sir, I can boogie
If you stay, you can't go wrong
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
No, sir
I don't feel very much like talking
No neither walking
You wanna know if I can dance, ooh
Yes, sir
Already told you in the first verse
And in the chorus
But I will give you one more chance, ooh
Yes sir, I can boogie
But I need a certain song
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
Yes sir, I can boogie
If you stay, you can't go wrong
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
Yes sir, I can boogie
But I need a certain song
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
Yes sir, I can boogie
If you stay, you can't go wrong
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
Yes sir, I can boogie
But I need a certain song
I can boogie, boogie-woogie
All night long
Yes sir, I can boogie
If you stay you can't go wrong
I can boogie, boogie-woogie...
