'One night I was layin' down
I heard mama and papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama let that boy boogie-woogie
It's in him and it got to come out
And I felt so good
Went on boogin' just the same'

'"Boogie Chillen'" or "Boogie Chillun"[b] is a blues song first recorded by John Lee Ho**er in 1948. It is a solo performance featuring Ho**er's vocal, electric guitar, and rhythmic foot stomps. The lyrics are partly autobiographical and alternate between spoken and sung verses. The song was his debut record release and in 1949, it became the first "down-home" electric blues song to reach number one in the R&B records chart.'
