Tamburitza Boogie

A bottle o' beer is fine
And chuggin' a lug o' wine
A-makes you blow a-very low(?)
And jock o' the juke with a nickel a dime
For Tamburitza boogie
The Tamburitza boogie
Shuffle and wax and pay the tax
And boogie to The Hawk and sax
The Tamburitza Boogie
Loonie boogie woogie

Slovakia she was gay
'Til yankee from USA
A-turned the town upside down
And tickled the string-um-a-jigger to play
The Tamburitza Boogie
A-Tamburitza Boogie
A-zing-a-la-zing, you pick the string
And rock and roll around the ring
To Tamburitza Boogie
Loonie boogie-woogie

A gypsy I'll never be
A fiddle is not for me
A crystal ball tells me all
I look in the future 'n' what do I see?
The Tamburitza Boogie
A-Tamburitza Boogie
Shuffle and wax and pay the tax
And boogie to The Hawk and sax
To Tamburitza Boogie
Loonie boogie woogie

I'm gonna get out my rig
So, baby, me you can dig
I'll make romance and dine and dance
An' slug an' a-slop an' a-juke an' a-jig
To Tamburitza Boogie
Tamburitza Boogie
A-hug an' a-kiss a pretty miss
We'll live in boogie-woogie bliss
The Tamburitza Boogie
Loonie boogie-woogie
Boogie-woogie
Tamburitza!

Mike3/15/2006 8:58:41 AM I had a 78 rpm record of Tamburitza Boogie by a Croation group The Contenintal 5 whick is a very rockish recording of this song. But I thought that the 78 was from the 1930's. I did make a tape copy of it.
Linda Regan7/14/2006 4:35:57 PM My father, Steve Crlenica, wrote that song. (The Crlenica Brothers - The Continental 5- are Serbian) I have the Serbo-Croatian version of it on CD. Louis Jordan's version is available on many CDs.
