 Gene Vincent - Bop Street Lyrics

[talking intro by dickie and wee willie:]
"20?11238l241106r??15,
hey cat, where are ya goin' man?
man, i'm going down to bop street
tell me cat, where's that di-rection?
man, ain't you heard? they got one of 'em in every town
real cool

Ba-a-op street, ba-a-op street
Oh, it's the cat and kittens of ol' bop street

Jumpin' jacks, they ain't no square
A green paint pants and great pair
On bop street they're the main attraction
'cause they're the cats who crave the action
A-jumpin' here, a-jumpin' there
A-jump jump jumpin' everyhere
The jumpin' jacksons are hard to beat
'cause they're the cats 'n' kittens of ol' bop street [rock]

Well, a dreamy day when it starts at nine
A-rockin' and a-rollin' all the time
A-green blue jeans and crazy shoes
A-jumpin' on bop street, losing the blues
A-jumpin' here, a-jumpin' there
A-jump jump jumpin' everyhere
The jumpin' jacksons are hard to beat
'cause they're the cats 'n' kittens of ol' bop street [jump, jack, jump]

Well it's the street where the cool cats go
To spend their time and their hard earned dough
A-boppin' on bop street, goin' 'round
The juke box music with the rockin' sound
Well a-jumpin' here, jumpin' there
A-jump jump jumpin' everyhere
The jumpin' jacksons are hard to beat
'cause they're the cats 'n' kittens of ol' bop street

Ba-a-op street, ba-a-op street
come on man, let's get going
yeah, let's go on down to bop street
Ba-a-op street
