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      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   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   Bop, bop, bop   Shake it, shake it, shake it   Move it 'til you lose it   Dance, dance, dance, dance   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
