With the barrel so straight
I looked over the fence
And over the gate
Picked a fat rabbit
He was sittin' in the grass
Wait'll he hears my
Whole shotgun blast
Shotgun boogie
Oh, shotgun boogie
Oh,shotgun boogie makes me
Boogie woogie all the time
Well, I met a pretty girl
She was tall and thin
Asked her what she had
She said, "A Vox 410"
I looked her up and down
And said, "Boy this is love
We headed for the bush
To shout a big fat dove"
Shotgun boogie
Oh shotgun boogie
Look out mister rabbit
Because they're gunnin' you
Oh, look out
Sat down on a log
And took her in my lap
She said, "Now wait a minute, honey
You got to see my pap"
He's got a sixteen gauge
Tall gun like a rifle
He don't like men that's gonna trifle
Shotgun boogie makes me
Boogie woogie all the time
Well, I called on her pappy
like a gentleman oughta
He said, "No brush hunter's
Gonna get my daughter
He cocked that gun
Right on the spot
But when the gun went off
I outran that shot
Oh, shotgun boogie
Oh shotgun boogie
I wanted wedding bells
And not your pappy's shells
Oh, shotgun boogie makes me
Boogie woogie all the time
Oh, he was shooting low honey
Oh, he got me on that second shot
Ooh, I got it but I'll be back
I only wanna talk
With the barrel so straight
I looked over the fence
