The time has come to sing a song about what's going on I don't know what day it is, but I know I'm alone Livin' hand to mouth and shufflin' the beat Keep your eyes open and an ear down to the street 'Cause meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie I'm just rockin' my boogie Rockin' my boogie every day ♪ ♪ The minutes seem like hours and the hours seem like days But it don't make no difference 'cause I'll never change my ways I don't care 'bout the future and I ain't hung up in the past I'm livin' every day like it's gonna be my last Meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie I'm just rockin' my boogie Rockin' my boogie every day Oh, rock your boogie, boy ♪ Go, go, go ♪ Everybody's screamin' and runnin' around They say that the sky is falling and we've got to get down Well, listen to me, people, don't you hang your head and cry No matter what you do, you ain't never satisfied 'Cause meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie Meanwhile I'm just rockin' my boogie From New York to St. Louie I'm rockin' my boogie every day Meanwhile Meanwhile I said meanwhile Meanwhile
