Well,  all my friends are boppin' the blues,
 it must be goin' round.
All  them cats are boppin' the blues,
 it must  be goin' round.
I  love you, baby, I must be rhythm bound.
Well,  the doctor told me, Carl, you don't need no pills.
 Yeah, that doctor  told me, boy, you don't need no pills.
 Just a handful  of nickels and a jukebox will cure your ills.
Well,  all my friends are boppin' the blues,
 it must be goin' round.
All  them cats are boppin' the blues,
 it must  be goin' round.
I  love you, baby, I must be rhythm bound.
Well,  the old cat bug, bit me, man, I don't feel no pain.
 Yeah, that jitterbug  caught me, man, I don't feel no pain.
 I still  love you baby, but I'll never be the same.
Well,  all my friends are boppin' the blues,
 it must be goin' round.
All  them friends are boppin' the blues,
 it must  be goin' round.
I  love you, baby, but I must be rhythm bound.
