Dancin', Shaggin' on the Boulevard [*] Lyrics
Written by randy owen, teddy gentry, and greg fowler
Well the magic attic's where the music rolls
And the army-navy's got ol' jackie soul
Down on peaches corner there are good ol' boys
And mother fletchers makin' lots of noise
They're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Well the tams are playin' at the port-o-call
And the drifters underneath the boardwalk
At the sapnish galleon and ol' fat jacks
Jukebox playin' and the place is packed
You bet they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
You know they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Got the top down and the traffic's slow
Sun fun week and, we all go
Where the girls are sunnin' and lookin' good
Well i never met 'em but i wish i could
And we'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
We'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Well the embers singin' up on ocean drive
And the castaways are gettin' loud tonight
At the electric circus they all getin' down
And the carousel's spinnin' round and 'round
See them dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
I see 'em dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Well i'm hangin out down at sloppy joes
They may doze but they never close
And the bama boys at the bowery
They can't dance but they play for free
But they like dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They know dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They wrote dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Well the magic attic's where the music rolls
And the army-navy's got ol' jackie soul
Down on peaches corner there are good ol' boys
And mother fletchers makin' lots of noise
They're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
And the drifters underneath the boardwalk
At the sapnish galleon and ol' fat jacks
Jukebox playin' and the place is packed
You bet they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
You know they're dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Sun fun week and, we all go
Where the girls are sunnin' and lookin' good
Well i never met 'em but i wish i could
And we'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
We'd go dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
And the castaways are gettin' loud tonight
At the electric circus they all getin' down
And the carousel's spinnin' round and 'round
See them dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
I see 'em dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They may doze but they never close
And the bama boys at the bowery
They can't dance but they play for free
But they like dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They know dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
They wrote dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard
Dancin', shaggin' on the boulevard

I heard this today and it took me back to when I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB from 1985 - 1992. It gave me a smile to hear the name check of all the clubs along the Grand Strand. The Mother Fletcher radio spots were crazy! I never learned how to Shag, but me and the wife would go dancing. Cruising the Stand in the back of a pickup truck on a lawn chair was classic. From the Can Am days in March, through the tourist season till Labor Day weekend the place was nuts. The sun, the fun, I sure miss it. From what I understand though I am missing a place that no longer exist, most the clubs have closed, the Pavilion and the amusement park is gone, the base closed, so many things have changed. I watch this video and Kenny Chesney's "Anything but mine" to see all the places I used to hang out. This song take me back.
