Momma said on the day I was born

There was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on

There was a party next door

The people calling out for more

And they played that boogie all night long

I was raised on a beat that was oh so sweet

So sad on that rhythm and blues

And when she sent me on my way I heard my momma say

"Boy, don't forget your dancing shoes!"

(Don't forget) to bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Dance dance

Dance dance

When you're down at a party and the music's hot

And you see somebody that you like a lot

Don't fight the feeling 'cause the feeling's right

Take a chance and dance 'cause tonight's the night

Tonight tonight tonight

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Bop bop bop

Come on come on come on

Shake it shake it shake it

Better shake and bake it

You can rock it, you can roll it

You can stomp it, you can stroll it

At the hop

When the record starts a-spinning

You calypso with a chicken

at the hop

Do the dance sensation that's sweeping Queer Nation at the...

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'till you break it

Bop 'til you drop (oh baby)

Shop for a top (oh baby)

Flop with a cop (oh baby)

Stop when you pop

D-d-dance

Well, back in junior high I was an ordinary guy

It was my neighbor Bobby Brown who was the king of the hop

After school we'd fool around and in Bobby's garage

We'd practice doing shimmy-shimmy-koko-bop

Well, we would act so butch, except on Saturday night

We were two hot queens on the floor (hot queens)

'Cause we'd get down in Bobby's kitchen,

But instead of doing dishes

We'd be brushing up our pokin' on the refrigerator door

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Dance dance

Dance dance

D-d-dance

Well it's come on come on d-down down

Don't be lazy 'cause the music starts a-movin'

And it's driving you crazy

Don't get caught just a-hangin' around

Cause you gotta come out if you wanna get down

Come out come out come out

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Bop 'til you drop

Shake it 'til you break it

(You better) move it till you lose it

Dance dance

Bop bop bop

Come on come on come on

Shake it shake it shake it

Better shake and bake it

Use it or you'll lose it

Lube it when you use it

Move it 'til you lose it (I lost it!)

Come on and dance dance dance

Come on and dance dance d-d-dance!

"Well, we are so glad to be here. We are so glad the house lights

are up. Yes! My gaydar is going full tilt! Have we made any

straight people uncomfortable yet? Well, we'll get there
