Good song, but I prefer Dwight Yokum's, "Long White Cadillac". Great cruising song with all the windows rolled down on a Hot August Night. So looking forward to warm days/nights to pull Justine (my 58 Impala) out of the garage storage and head down the coast and to car meets.
Cadillac Boogie--Jimmy Liggins & His Drops of Joy (1948)
I had to have a boogie when the woogie wouldn't wait.
Bought me a long, black Cadillac Eight.
It's all reet, solid, streamlined.
Our joy-jumping Cadillac's on time.
It's the cadillac boogie, boogie woogie rolling along
Look out gate, don't be late,
This rovin' cat's got a Cadillac Eight,
Air-foam cushions on a modern design,
V-eight motor, body Fleetwood line.
Keep rollin jack, makin' time,
That cat's purring, got eight kitten's cryin'.
It's the Cadillac boogie, yes the Cadillac boogie
It's the Cadillac boogie, boogie woogie rolling along.
Sportin' around town, want to make a date?
Get you a long, black Cadillac Eight.
Get to crusin' boy, ball on the scene,
Gals will start jumping and your money will be green.
It's the Cadillac boogie, boogie woogie rolling along.
Now that you have dug this Cadillac Eight,
Hepcat daddy don't miss no dates.
Traveling man, Herb and Brown,
Picking up all the fine chicks in town.
It's the Cadillac boogie, boogie woogie rolling along.
Roll the boogie!
