"At the Hop"

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bahBah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!
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'
You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
Ah, let's go to the hop Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop
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 And the music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop Let's go! Let's go to the hop Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby) Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop Let's go!
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'
You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop
You can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop.
All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop.
Let's go! Let's go to the hop Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop
Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!




"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"

Well the south side of chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named leroy brown
Now leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him "treetop lover"
All the mens just call him "sir"
And it's bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now leroy he a gambler And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom continental
He got an eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun He got a razor in his shoe
And it's bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog Well friday bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named doris And ooh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
And leroy brown learned a lesson 'bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man
And it's bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old king kong And meaner than a junkyard dog,
Well the two men took to fightin' And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle With a couple of pieces gone
And it's bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

"Blowin' In The Wind"

 How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the canon balls fly before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years must a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

"Breakin' Up Is Hard to Do"

You tell me that you're leaving
Can't believe it's true
Boy there's no living without you
Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery 'cause if you go then i'll be blue
Breaking up is hard to do
Remember when you held me tight,
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we been through, And breaking up is hard to do
They say that breakin' up is hard to do
Now i know, i know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up I wish that we were making up again
I beg of you Don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love Just one more try
Come on baby Let's start anew
Breakin' up is hard to do
Breakin' up is oh so hard to do
