The Nylons Bop Til You Drop lyrics

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
Dance, dance

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
Dance, dance

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
Practicing 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
Dance, dance

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, come doo
