Well, you can rock it you can roll it

You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop

When the record starts spinnin',
When the DJ starts playing a record, and the music starts.

You chalypso when you chicken at the hop

Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop

Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
An enthusiastic repetition of the chorus.

Well, you can swing it you can groove it

You can really start to move it at the hop

Where the jockey is the smoothest
The DJ is skilled at playing records and knows what music makes people want to dance.

And the music is the coolest at the hop

All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop
Everybody is welcome at the Hop, and everyone can have a good time.
