|
Well, I know a cool cat from way downtown
|
He's been boppin' all around
|
In this ole world he's livin' fast
|
Someday I'm afraid he's gonna run outta gas
|
So if you're travelin' that way, too
|
I tell you, friend, what you better do
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
|
Hey, ya don't know what you're missin'
|
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
|
'Cause ya might be missin' kissin'
|
If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long, long way
|
|
Now, Farmer Jones, he came to town
|
And saw that boppin' all around
|
He learned to do it, there's no doubt
|
I'm afraid someday he'll burn his motor out
|
So if you're travelin' that way, too
|
I tell you, friend, what you better do
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
|
Now the rhumba, samba, then the bop
|
Well, I don't know what's a-comin' next
|
But this ole world's in a terrible fix
|
So if you're travelin' that way, too
|
I tell you, friend, what you better do
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
|
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
|
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
|
Ya gotta stop
