I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm got a' hold of me too
I got the Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the girl's too tall
Young man rhythm got a' hold of me too
I got the Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

I wanna scream, I want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feets are too slow
Young man rhythm got a' hold of me too
I got the Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

Baby callin' me now hurry home
I know she's leavin' 'cause I'm takin' too long
Young man rhythm got a' hold of me too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and Joe Perry too, oh

Want some lovin', baby' that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the girl's too tall
Young man rhythm got a' hold of me too
I got the Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

I wanna scream, I wanna scream
Young man rhythm got a' hold of me too
I got the Rockin' Pneumonia, what's the matter with you?
