The Watch Out Boogie
By Kathleen Dunbar
Copyrighted by Kathleen Dunbar

Verse 1
daddy longlegs
in hot pursuit
of the gal with the smile
so absolute
throw her in the air
pluck her like fruit
horn player goin toot toot toot
god made the dancers
devil made the band
cuz man they playin as fast as they can

got a Cuban heel
and a pointy boot
out west show down
cowboy shoot
hound her to heaven
you know the route
then press her to your chest
and steal the loot
it was a battle royale
quite an affray
dancin through the night till the break of day

Chorus
party, imbroglio
it was a brouhaha, a fandango
forget everything you know
it was a cubist painting by Picasso
they danced till the stars burned out
the crowd was shoutin watch out! watch out!

Instrumental

Verse
he left the floor
with a mighty jump
bass player thumb
goin thump thump thump
bass drum
da bump bump bump
jesus wept
until his waistcoat shrunk
gal did the splits
stood up back on top
shimmy for the crowd and bop bop bop

got a high leg kick
he a hip shaolin
coolio mystery
from old Peking
she got eyes so blue
I heard the sky
lean down to her
to apologize
they so in love
their love’s so hot
whatever you want is what they got

Chorus
party, imbroglio
it was a brouhaha, a fandango
forget everything you know
it was a cubist painting by Picasso
they danced till the stars burned out
the crowd was shoutin watch out! watch out!

Chorus Extra
ooh-ooh watch out, watch out!
ooh-ooh it’s what it’s all about
ooh-ooh without a doubt
ooh-ooh baby jump and shout
uh woo-woo-woo
woo-woo-woo
go crazy baby
watch out, watch out!

Instrumental

Verse
swango
water skier slide
silly, sugar push
take it for a ride
tuck turn
while the trombone slides
pull it in close
send it out wide
wah wah wah whip
skip up
dee-dee dee-dee dee-dee dee-dee dee-dip!

oh! snuggin and snoozin
inside the spoon
his long arms made
all afternoon
now out on the corner
waitin for the train
to take ‘em into town
to dance again
the night is sweet
their love is bold
and now this story is all told

Chorus
party, imbroglio
it was a brouhaha, a fandango
forget everything you know
it was a cubist painting by Picasso
they danced till the stars burned out
the crowd was shoutin watch out! watch out!

Chorus Extra
ooh-ooh watch out, watch out!
ooh-ooh it’s what it’s all about
ooh-ooh without a doubt
ooh-ooh baby jump and shout
uh woo-woo-woo
woo-woo-woo
go crazy baby
watch out!

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
