Boogie Woogie Blue Plate Lyrics

There's a gal at the local beanery
She's a pretty hunk of scenery
She can make a chocolate soda go hiss
You oughta go around and dig it
When she's workin' at the spigot
You can hear her calling orders like this

"Give me a ham white down and a burger rare
Side a slaw and a seven layer
OJ up, wreck two in a cup
And a boogie woogie blue plate"

"Give me a triple beef on a load of hay
Combo rye and a bottle of ale
Coming through with a slab of moo
And a boogie woogie blue plate"

"Draw one, draw two, get that coffee perkin'
Draw three, draw four, hold that mayo on the chopped egg workin'
One a tuna wheat with a side of fries
86 on the cherry pies
Side of greens on the franks and beans
And a boogie woogie blue plate"

"Draw one, draw two, get that coffee perkin'
Draw three, you better make it four, hold that mayo on the chopped egg workin'
One a tuna wheat with a side of fries
86 on the cherry pies
Side of greens on the franks and beans
And a boogie woogie blue plate
Boogie woogie blue plate"

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
