Sleep and Boogie
In the big clay pan lit the light of the stars With the wallaroo shakin' with a big guitar
And rockin' in the circle with a little blue doe As the red buckaroo shouts, go man, go home
Sleep and Boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Sleep and Boogie
Under the desert sky
Sleep and Boogie
Well I rubbed my eyes and I looked again Just to make sure that I was seein' plain
There was no mistake about the guitar man Well he was pickin' out a rhythm on the big clay pan
Sleep and Boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Sleep and Boogie
Under the desert sky
Well the other drovers climbed out of their swags All started rockin' including their necks
I heard a low beat from the cattle camp Why the whole mother cattle were beginnin' to stamp
Sleep and Boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Sleep and Boogie
Under the desert sky
Sleep and Boogie
Well I'm an old cattle drover in a desert lair I dig hot rhythm and I ain't no square
Rhythm is a word you don't understand Until you've heard it comin' from the big clay pan
Sleep and Boogie
I couldn't believe my eyes
Sleep and Boogie
Under the desert sky
Let's go!
Step it up!
Look at those Memphis dancers!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
