Nylons - Bop Til You Drop lyrics

rate me

Mama said on the day I was born

There was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on

There was a party next door the people callin' out for more

And they played the boogie all night long

I was raised on a beat that was oh so sweet

Fed on the rhythm and blues

When she sent me on my way I heard my mama say

Son, don't forget your dancin' shoes

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance, dance

(repeat)

When you're down at a party and the music's hot

And you see somebody that you like a lot

Don't fight the feelin' if the feelin's right

Take a chance and dance 'cause tonight's the night

We'll do it right

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance dance

(repeat)

Bop, bop, bop

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance, dance, dance, dance

Dance, dance, da-da-dance

Back in 57 I was just a little boy

And my sister Jenny Sue, she was the queen of the hop

After school she'd be stackin' up her 45's

Practising her shimmy shimmy koko bop

She had to do it right 'cause come on Saturday night

She was the hot girl on the floor

Mama'd catch her in the kitchen but instead of doing dishes

She'd be brushin' up her boogie on the 'frigerator door

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance Dance

(repeat)

Bop, bop, bop

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance, dance, come on and dance, dance

Da-da-dance, come on and dance, dance

Da-da-dance

Ah when it's come-a come-a doo down down pretty baby

And the music starts movin' and it's drivin' you crazy

Don't get caught just-a hangin' around

'Cause you gotta get up if you wanna get down

Get up, get up, get down down down

Come on and dance, dance

Don't it make you wanna get up and dance

Bop, bop, bop

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance, dance

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance, dance

Bop, bop, bop

Come on, come on, come on

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Shake it, shake it, shake it

Move it 'til you lose it

Move it 'til you lose it

Move it 'til you lose it

Dance, dance, da-da-dance

Come on and dance, dance, da-da-dance

Come on and dance, dance, da-da-dance
