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
