Lyrics
[verse]
Well the whole town's shaking, there's a fever going round,
From the corner drugstore to the edge of the ground.
Grandma's tapping, even the preacher can't sit still,
Once that rhythm gets you, boy, you know it always will.
[chorus]
We're boppin', boppin', boppin' away the blues,
Kicking off our worries with our dancing shoes.
Stomp it on the floorboards till the ceiling comes down,
Everybody's boppin' all over this town!
[verse]
Doctor came to see me, said "What's ailing you, son?"
I said "Nothing but the music and it can't be undone.
Won't take your medicine, won't lie in that bed —
Just turn that radio up and shake it instead."
[chorus]
We're boppin', boppin', boppin' away the blues,
Kicking off our worries with our dancing shoes.
Stomp it on the floorboards till the ceiling comes down,
Everybody's boppin' all over this town!
[bridge]
Piano man's a-pounding, bass is walking on air,
There ain't a single soul that's got a trouble to spare.
Catch it like a wildfire, pass it on down the line —
This here bop is medicine and everyone's feeling fine.
[chorus]
We're boppin', boppin', boppin' away the blues,
Kicking off our worries with our dancing shoes.
Stomp it on the floorboards till the ceiling comes down,
Everybody's boppin' all over this town!
