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, dont forget your dancin shoes
Bop til you drop
Shake it til you break it
Move it til you lose it
Dance, dance
(repeat)
When youre down at a party and the musics hot
And you see somebody that you like a lot
Dont fight the feelin if the feelins right
Take a chance and dance cause tonights the night
Well 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 shed be stackin up her 45s
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
Mamad catch her in the kitchen but instead of doing dishes
Shed 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 its come-a come-a doo down down pretty baby
And the music starts movin and its drivin you crazy
Dont get caught just-a hangin around

Get up, get up, get down down down

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

Bop, bop, bop

Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it

Move it til you lose it
Dance, dance, da-da-dance
