At The Hop
The Juniors Lyrics

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Repetitive sounds to introduce and set the rhythm of the song

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
Invitation to join the fun and excitement at the dance event called 'the hop'

Well, you can rock it you can roll it
Describing the flexibility of the dance and the range of styles that can be performed at the hop

You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop
Emphasizing the freedom of expression and movement that is allowed at the hop

When the record starts spinnin'
The start of the music, which signals the beginning of the dance

You chalypso when you chicken at the hop
Describing the different dance moves that can be performed at the hop, including the cha-cha and chicken dance

Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
Encouraging everyone to participate in the popular dance craze that is taking the nation by storm

Ah, let's go to the hop
Reiteration of the invitation to attend the dance event

Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Repetition of the invitation, this time with added affectionate tone

Well, you can swing it you can groove it
Another description of the variety of dance styles that can be performed at the hop

You can really start to move it at the hop
Encouraging everyone to let loose and dance with passion and energy

Where the jockey is the smoothest
Referring to the DJ, who spins the records and sets the mood for the dancers

And the music is the coolest at the hop
Praising the quality and appeal of the music being played at the hop

All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop
Acknowledging the diverse audience attending the hop and assuring them that they will enjoy the experience

Let's go!
Enthusiastic call to action, encouraging everyone to participate and have fun

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Repetition of the introductory sounds

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
Reiteration of the invitation, with added emphasis and excitement
