Lyrics
VERSE 1
There's a swingin' crowd, their gonna show you how to do the hop.
But when it comes to committin' they'll soon be splittin' doin' the hop.
They say we're not bein' fed so we're feelin' lead to do the hop!
VERSE 2
Well if you park in their space they'll tell you to your face to do the hop.
And if you're sittin' in their pew then tootaloo you do the hop.
But when the goin' gets rough their leavin' in a huff to do the hop!
CHORUS
Don't you do the hop!
Don't you do the hop!
I say don't you do the hop!
Don't you do that hop!
Don't do the run around Sue and whatever you do,
Don't do the hop!
VERSE 3
Well if the preacher's makin' money then so long hon' they do the hop!
And if his wife's new dress is causin' them stress they do the hop!
"We didn't give 'em our permission to improve their condition,
We're doin' the hop!"
CHORUS
BRIDGE
First you wanna swap,
Then you start to shop,
Now you're doin' the hop,
When you gonna stop?
