Owensboro, Kentucky — BBQ Capital of the World

Stir it up,

Fill my cup,

Get me a gallon,

or I’ll be growlin’.

Burgoo Boogie is the thing to do,

A Mutton/Chicken/Pork/Vegetable stew,

A secret concoction only known to a few,

But oh what that burgoo will do!

Boogie Burgoo, Boogie Burgoo.

Do the Burgoo Boogie,

And get yourself stewed!

Boogie Burgoo, Boogie Burgoo.

Do the Burgoo Boogie,

And get yourself stewed!

I never thought a soup so good,

It sticks to your ribs,

Smoked on hard Hickory wood,

A blessing, a saving grace,

Cooked to perfection,

A most pleasant taste.

A little spicy hot,

Pizazz is what it’s got!

Burgoo stew really hits the spot!

Boogie Burgoo, Boogie Burgoo.

Do the Burgoo Boogie,

And get yourself stewed!

Boogie Burgoo, Boogie Burgoo.

Do the Burgoo Boogie,

And get yourself stewed!
