hit the street, man we're packed to the max
we live a permanent high
round, round, round we go
the town that never sleeps
oh, babe this is pleasuredome and where you ought to be
town of the wild
ain't gonna let you down
town of the wild
sure gonna make you high
shake, shake, shake, oy
welcome to bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
rockin' in bop city
running wild, wreck'n roll on our minds
babe, we're in crime of all time
now an for evermore, the ultimate trip
it's your shot and it's hot so toss the coin and let it flip
town of the wild
ain't gonna let you down
town of the wild
sure gonna make you high
shake, shake, shake, oy
welcome to bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
rockin' in bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
welcome to bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
rockin' in bop city
(solo)
late at night as your vice turns to sin
we'll get yer rocks off for sure
red hot and burning up it's your best choice and for free
outta luck, outta love, that don't happen to you here
town of the wild
ain't gonna let you down
town of the wild
sure gonna make you high
shake, shake, shake, oy
welcome to bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
rockin' in bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
welcome to bop city
shake, shake, shake, oy
rockin' in bop city
throw away yer self pity go and make yerself pretty
this train keeps rollin' down to the bop city
there's a word on every tongue about a place to have fun
everybody's talkin' 'bout bop city
