The Number 14th song of the 1955-1959 rock era Was Number 1 for 7 weeks in 1958
Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
Well, you can rock it you can roll it You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop When the record starts spinnin' You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
Let's go to the hop Let's go to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop Come on, let's go to the hop
Well, you can swing it you can groove it You can really start to move it at the hop Where the jockey is the smoothest And the music is the coolest at the hop All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop Let's go!
Let's go to the hop Let's go to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop Come on, let's go to the hop Let's go!
