Boppin' High School Baby
Don Willis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're my boppin' high school baby, dear and you're for me
Yes, my boppin' high school baby suits me to a T
Every time I look at you, my eyes bulge out
Sayin' a-look here everybody and begin to shout

She's my boppin' high school baby, loves me naturally
Yes, my boppin' high school baby loves nobody but me
Well, things aren't always from-a A to B
And when it comes to boppin' she is heavenly
She just dances 'round the floor, nice and light
And when the music's quick then she can bop all night

She's my boppin' high school baby, loves me naturally
Yes, my boppin' high school baby loves nobody but me

Well, the boys all in school, they all envy me
'Cause my boppin' high school baby loves no one but me
But there's one thing that I'm sure about
That I won't lose my baby when school turns out





She's my boppin' high school baby, loves me naturally
Yes, my boppin' high school baby loves nobody but me

Well, there was someone bound to know about it. I knew about this record when I bought it in a record sale, and he sold it to me cheap. I thought: The name suggests teenage rockabilly, but I listened to it, and it was a great track. one of my favorites.

Ah -- THAT"S who that is. He's good! According to what I've read, he came to Memphis after doing some studio work at Gold Star in L.A., and he was the one who actually produced this record.
