[Verse 1] Well, you get a couple nickels and you put one in You lever up the ball and then you grab the pin You pull it back a little and you let her roll The rhythm of your body keeps it under control [Chorus] You do the pinball boogie Woo, the pinball boogie Yes, the pinball boogie You rattle and shake it til it gets in the hole [Verse 2] Now if youre weak and hungry and you got no dough You spare yourself a dime and you forget your woes Split the dime in two and put a nickel in And shake it while you watch the little pinball spin [Chorus] You do the pinball boogie Woo, the pinball boogie Yes, the pinball boogie You rattle and shake it til it gets in the hole [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] One night I had a chance to date a lovely girl I went into a joint to watch the pinball whirl I shook it and I took it for ten free games It wasnt long til I forgot about that dame [Chorus] We did the pinball boogie Woo, the pinball boogie Yes, the pinball boogie You rattle and shake it til it gets in the hole [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Now, its kind fascinating just to watch it roll And mighty aggravating when you miss the hole So wobble it and wag it and youll learn the trick A boogiewoogie motion makes the scoreboard tick [Chorus] You do the pinball boogie Woo, the pinball boogie Yes, the pinball boogie You rattle and shake it til it gets in the hole [Outro] You shake it, rattle it Shake it, rattle it Shake it til it gets in the hole
