lyrics

THE MUSE AND HER GENIUS WENT OUT TO A BAR
THE MUSE TOLD HER GENIUS YOU STAY IN THE CAR
FOR I WANT TONIGHT TO BE CARELESS AND FREE
SO LONG MY DEAR GENIUS
I’M GONE TO BOOGIE

WELL HER GENIUS WAS LEFT FAR OR MORE LESS THAN AMUSED
FOR WHAT GOOD’S A GENIUS WITHOUT A GOOD MUSE?
STEPPING OUT OF THE CAR
LOOKING AWFULLY CONFUSED
SHE TURNED TO THE BAR TO GO SING HER SOME BLUES

ONCE INSIDE THE BAR WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD
THERE THE MUSE WAS A DRANKIN' WHILE SWANGIN' THE POLE
SHE SAID FELLAS AS SURE AS MY HAIR’S BOLD AND RED
WE’RE GONNA BOOGIE TONIGHT
FOR MY GENIUS IS DEAD.

THEY DID A SLO -OO -OO GO BOOGIE
A SLO-OO- GO BOOGIE
AT EVERY TURN AROUND THE WOMAN GET’S HER MAN
WITH A SLO-OO-OO GO BOOGIE IN HER HAND

NOW THE FELLAS WERE TURNING HERE JUST LIKE A TOP
THAT OL’ SLO GO BOOGIE COMIN’ OUT THE JUKEBOX
HAD THE MUSE JUST A JERKIN HER HEAD JUST A BOP
IT APPEARED THAT HER GENIUS DIDN’T WANT HER TO STOP.

SHE SANG OH-OH CAN YOU HEAR ME MY MUSE
THIS IS YOUR GENIUS I’M TALKING TO YOU
DON’T YOU KNOW WHAT THESE RASCALS ARE TRYIN’ TO DO
THEY’RE GONNA ROPE THAT OL’ SLO BOOGIE
RIGHT OUT OF YOU

SHE SANG OH-OH I’M LEAVING MY MUSE
WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO SING YOU THE BLUES
WITH YOUR ANGELIC FLAIR AND YOUR DEVILISH GRIN
YOUR SKIRT’S RIDIN’ UP
OUR PERMISSION TO SIN

THEY DID A SLO -OO -OO GO BOOGIE
A SLO-OO- GO BOOGIE
AT EVERY TURN AROUND THE WOMAN GET’S HER MAN
WITH A SLO-OO-OO GO BOOGIE IN HER HAND

FINALLY THE JUKEBOX A’STARTED TO STOP
IN THE DISTANCE THE SOUND OF THE HORSES HOOVES CLOP
SHE SAID FELLAS MY PARTY HAS COME TO AN END
I’VE LOST NOT JUST MY FREEDOM
I CAN’T FIND MY FRIEND

OUTSIDE BY THE CAR MUCH TO HER STARTLED EYES
THERE HER GENIUS WAS WRITING A NOTE OF SURPRISE
SHE SAID I’LL TRADE YOU YOURS
IF YOU’LL READ MY MIND
AND THE MUSE AND HER GENIUS
GET BETTER WITH TIME.

JUST LIKE THE SLO -OO -OO GO BOOGIE
THE SLO-OO- GO BOOGIE
AT EVERY TURN AROUND THE WOMAN GET’S HER MAN
WITH A SLO-OO-OO GO BOOGIE IN HER HAND
