The Hop

 

Well if you're not being fed

You can go where you're led

Do the hop

To where the preacher is the coolest

And the choir is the smoothest

Do the hop

All the cats and chicks

Get their sermon picks

When they hop

 

Let's go do the hop

Let's go do the hop

Let's go do the hop

Let's go do the hop

Baaa Baaa

Let's go do the hop

 

Well you can see where they are rolling

And they don't play cards or bowling

When you hop

And if the Spirit starts wooing

That's when to try a new one

Do the hop

Do the church sensation

That's sweeping the nation

Do the hop

 

Well if you get a little bitter

'Cause you're the babysitter

Do the hop

And if the preacher is a turkey

Just say, "Goodbye, you jerk"

And do the hop

All the cats and chicks

Get their sermon picks

When they hop

 

Well you can hide up in the balcony

And never get committed

When you hop

You can sleep in on Sunday

And not be missed on Monday

When you hop

Do the church sensation

That's sweeping the nation

Do the hop
