Testo Bop Street Gene Vincent
(talking intro by dickie and wee willie:)
"hey cat, where are ya goinâ man? "
"man, Iâm going down to bop street"
"tell me cat, whereâs that di-rection? "
"man, ainât you heard? they got one of âem in every town"
"real cool"
Ba-a-op street, ba-a-op street
Oh, itâs the cat and kittens of olâ bop street
Jumpinâ jacks, they ainât no square
A green paint pants and great pair
On bop street theyâre the main attraction
âcause theyâre the cats who crave the action
A-jumpinâ here, a-jumpinâ there
A-jump jump jumpinâ everyhere
The jumpinâ jacksons are hard to beat
âcause theyâre the cats ânâ kittens of olâ bop street (rock)
Well, a dreamy day when it starts at nine
A-rockinâ and a-rollinâ all the time
A-green blue jeans and crazy shoes
A-jumpinâ on bop street, losing the blues
A-jumpinâ here, a-jumpinâ there
A-jump jump jumpinâ everyhere
The jumpinâ jacksons are hard to beat
âcause theyâre the cats ânâ kittens of olâ bop street (jump, jack, jump)
Well itâs the street where the cool cats go
To spend their time and their hard earned dough
A-boppinâ on bop street, goinâ âround
The juke box music with the rockinâ sound
Well a-jumpinâ here, jumpinâ there
A-jump jump jumpinâ everyhere
The jumpinâ jacksons are hard to beat
âcause theyâre the cats ânâ kittens of olâ bop street
Ba-a-op street, ba-a-op street
"come on man, letâs get going"
"yeah, letâs go on down to bop street"
Ba-a-op street
