Lyrics:

(Musixmatch)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah) at the hop

Well, you can rock it you can roll it

Do the stomp and even stroll it at the hop

When the record starts spinnin’

You calypso when you chicken at the hop

Do the dance sensations that are sweepin’ the nation at the hop

Let’s go to the hop

Let’s go to the hop (oh baby)

Let’s go to the hop (oh baby)

Let’s go to the hop

Come on, let’s go to the hop

Well, you can swing it you can groove it

You can really start to move it at the hop

Where the jockey is the smoothest

And the music is the coolest at the hop

All the cats and the chicks can get their kicks at the hop

Let’s go

Let’s go to the hop

Let’s go to the hop (oh baby)

Let’s go to the hop (oh baby)

Let’s go to the hop

Come on, let’s go to the hop (let’s go)

Well, you can rock it you can roll it

Do the stomp and even stroll it at the hop

When the record starts spinnin’

You calypso when you chicken at the hop

Do the dance sensations that are sweepin’ the nation at the hop

You can swing it, you can groove it

You can really start to move it at the hop

Where the jockey is the smoothest

And the music is the coolest at the hop

All the cats and the chicks can get their kicks at the hop

Let’s go

Let’s go to the hop

Let’s go to the hop (oh baby)

Let’s go to the hop (oh baby)

Let’s go to the hop

Come on, let’s go to the hop

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah)

Bah (bah) (bah) (bah) at the hop
