Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
No matter what
You just can’t stop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Stick’em up
Give me your money
You act like a big shot
But you’re really a dummy
They want your blood
They want every drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Hey!
You tried and tried
But you’re a flop
You’re thirty five
Still pushing a mop
No time to cop
Do the cretin hop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
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
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
No matter what you just can’t stop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Stick’em up give me your money
You act like a big shot but you’re really a dummy
They want your blood they want every drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Hey!
You tried and tried but you’re a flop
You’re thirty five still pushing a mop
No time to cop do the cretin hop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
Bop ‘til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don’t stop ‘til you get what you want
Bop ‘til you drop
In the hot city
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait
You wake up wired and draw on your makeup
And the city breathes
And the city jumps to life
Lately it seems
Your time is all used up
Chasing dreams
Of money and the good life
But there is something you’ve been thinking of
Lately you’re feeling the power of love
Everybody says it’s so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up
Bop ‘til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don’t stop ‘til you get what you want
Bop ‘til you drop
‘til you sit pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait
People say you’re the lucky one
But you don’t believe it
And you want to stop
And you want to take some time
To sus’ out a feeling and look for a reason
And the flesh is weak
But the spirit is willing
‘cause there is something you’ve been thinking of
Lately you’re feeling the power of love
Everybody says it’s so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up
Bop ‘til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don’t stop ‘til you get what you want
Bop ‘til you drop
‘til you sit pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love won’t, love won¹t wait
There is something you’ve been thinking of
Lately you’re feeling the power of love
Everybody says it’s so hard to hold
The alarm rings
You gotta get up, you gotta get up
Bop ‘til you drop
In the hot city
Keep on working day and night
