Do you like good boogie?
Like a real boogie-woogie
Hear the juke box singing
A-get the dance hall swinging
A-won’t you grab my shaker
I got to meet your maker
Oh, get out the lead, get out of bed, get the lead out
(Get ready), I’ll show you my fist
(Get ready), take hold of my wrist
(Get ready), we really can’t miss
(Get ready)
Um, hey good looking
A-what you got there cooking?
You a young spring chicken
A-make your feet start kicking
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
(Get ready), I’ll show you my fist
(Get ready), take hold of my wrist
(Get ready), we really can’t miss
(Get ready)
Um, hey good looking
A-what you got there cooking?
Hey good looking
A-what you got there cooking
You a young spring chicken
A-make your feet start kicking
Boot it out, dance without me
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
Boogie Energy and Rock ‘n’ Roll Vigor
“Get The Lead Out” by Aerosmith is a high-octane invitation to let loose and embrace the raw spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The lyrics evoke the atmosphere of a bustling dance hall, where music and movement take center stage. With playful lines like “Do you like good boogie?” and references to the “juke box singing,” the track encourages listeners to shake off their inhibitions and join the party. The repeated commands to “get out of bed, get the lead out” are a call to action, urging everyone to kickstart their energy and jump into the rhythm of the night. Aerosmith’s characteristic swagger shines through, blending flirtatious banter with infectious grooves that make it impossible to sit still.
