Guys, what does "boogie oogie oogie" means from the song A Taste of Honey?

Cuz we're gonna boogie oogie oogie
till you just can't boogie no more

Boogie?? Oogie? What the hell is that?

I need an explanation. Someone could help me?

And does someone know what "woogie" means from boogie-woogie expression?
 
It doesn't mean anything. The writer uses meaningless words to fill the rhythm of the tune with the right number of syllables.
 
There were several songs in the disco era that spoke of "boogie." It's not supposed to mean anything other than dancing.
 
"Oogie" rhymes with Boogie. It was made up just for that.
 
I assumed it meant dance till they could dance no more, possibly with a sexual undertone. However, I never worried too much about the meaning.
