Patsy Cline - Stop, Look And Listen lyrics

rate me

Written by G. London and W.S. Stevenson

(Originally released July 8, 1956 - alternate take)

Well, I know a cool cat from way downtown

He's been boppin' all around

In this ole world he's livin' fast

Someday I'm afraid he's gonna run outta gas

So if you're travelin' that way, too

I tell you, friend, what you better do

CHORUS:

Ya gotta stop, look and listen

Hey, ya don't know what you're missin'

Ya gotta stop, look and listen

'Cause ya might be missin' kissin'

If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long, long way

Now, Farmer Jones, he came to town

And saw that boppin' all around

He learned to do it, there's no doubt

I'm afraid someday he'll burn his motor out

So if you're travelin' that way, too

I tell you, friend, what you better do

REPEAT CHORUS

First came the boogie, then the bunny hop

Now the rhumba, samba, then the bop

Well, I don't know what's a-comin' next

But this ole world's in a terrible fix

So if you're travelin' that way, too

I tell you, friend, what you better do

REPEAT CHORUS

Ya gotta stop, look and listen

Ya gotta stop, look and listen

Ya gotta stop, look and listen

Ya gotta stop
