I couldn't stop movin' when it first took hold

It was a warm spring night at the old town hall

There was a band called The Jokers, they were layin' it down

Doncha know I'm never gonna lose that funky sound

Hey rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Lawdy mama light my fuse

Rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Truck on out and spread the news, all right

I hope ya'll know what I'm talkin' about

The way she wiggled that thing, it really knocks me out

Gettin' high all the time, but if you're not there too

Come on a little closer, gonna do it to you, yeah

Hey rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Lawdy mama light my fuse

Rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Truck on out and spread the news, yeah

'Squitas start buzzin' 'bout that time of year

She's goin' 'round back, said she'd meet me there

We was ballin' in the grass growin' behind the barn

Now my ears started ringin' like a fire alarm

Rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Lawdy mama light my fuse

Rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Truck on out and spread the news

Rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Lawdy mama light my fuse

Rock n' roll, hoochie koo

Truck on out and spread the news

Done got tired of payin' dues

Said goodbye to all my blues

Lawdy mama, light my fuse, oh yeah
