Letra de 'Bop 'Til You Drop At The Hop' de The Flirtations

Momma said on the day I was born
There was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on
There was a party next door
The people calling out for more
And they played that boogie all night long
I was raised on a beat that was oh so sweet
So sad on that rhythm and blues
And when she sent me on my way I heard my momma say
"Boy, don't forget your dancing shoes!"

(Don't forget) to bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
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 feeling 'cause the feeling's right
Take a chance and dance 'cause tonight's the night
Tonight tonight tonight

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
Bop bop bop
Come on come on come on
Shake it shake it shake it
Better shake and bake it

You can rock it, you can roll it
You can stomp it, you can stroll it
At the hop
When the record starts a-spinning
You calypso with a chicken
at the hop
Do the dance sensation that's sweeping Queer Nation at the...

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'till you break it
Bop 'til you drop (oh baby)
Shop for a top (oh baby)
Flop with a cop (oh baby)
Stop when you pop

D-d-dance
Well, back in junior high I was an ordinary guy
It was my neighbor Bobby Brown who was the king of the hop
After school we'd fool around and in Bobby's garage
We'd practice doing shimmy-shimmy-koko-bop
Well, we would act so butch, except on Saturday night
We were two hot queens on the floor (hot queens)
'Cause we'd get down in Bobby's kitchen,
But instead of doing dishes
We'd be brushing up our pokin' on the refrigerator door

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
Dance dance
Dance dance
D-d-dance
Well it's come on come on d-down down
Don't be lazy 'cause the music starts a-movin'
And it's driving you crazy
Don't get caught just a-hangin' around
Cause you gotta come out if you wanna get down
Come out come out come out

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
(You better) move it till you lose it
Dance dance

Bop bop bop
Come on come on come on
Shake it shake it shake it
Better shake and bake it
Use it or you'll lose it
Lube it when you use it
Move it 'til you lose it (I lost it!)
Come on and dance dance dance
Come on and dance dance d-d-dance!

"Well, we are so glad to be here. We are so glad the house lights
are up. Yes! My gaydar is going full tilt! Have we made any
straight people uncomfortable yet? Well, we'll get there
