Honey Bop
Rock Your Blues Away with Wanda Jackson's Honey Bop
Lyrics
Well, once they had a dance they called the bunny-hop
Refers to a dance called the bunny-hop from the past.
Now the cats are in a trance, all they wanna do is bop
People are now captivated by a trance-like state, wanting to dance the bop.
So bop, honey bop, well bop, a-honey bop
Encourages dancing and expresses enthusiasm for the bop.
Oh bop, honey bop, well don't stop, a-honey bop
Reinforces the excitement and suggests continuous dancing without stopping.
When the band begins to rock and it's rockin' to your blues
Describes a lively and bluesy atmosphere when the band starts playing.
If you think you blow your top
Suggests that if someone feels overwhelmed, they should put on their dancing shoes.
Well, put on your rockin' shoes
Encourages responding to the music by dancing energetically.
And bop, honey bop, well bop, a-honey bop
Reiterates the call for energetic and continuous dancing.
Let's bop, honey bop, don't stop, a-honey bop
Expresses the desire to keep dancing without interruption.
When the night is up and gone, but you still wanna go
Addresses the end of the night but suggests a desire to continue dancing.
Though you see light of dawn, baby tell the band to blow
Even at dawn, the desire to dance persists, asking the band to continue playing.
And bop, honey bop, well bop, a-honey bop
Repeats the call for lively and continuous dancing.
Well bop, honey bop, don't stop, a-honey bop
Emphasizes the enthusiasm for the bop without wanting it to end.
Well the waltz is for the square and the rhumba is too old
Mentions traditional dances like the waltz and rhumba, contrasting them with the liberating and satisfying nature of rockin'.
Baby, we're just rockin' let it satisfy your soul
Encourages embracing the joy and satisfaction found in rockin'.
So bop, honey bop, well bop, a-honey bop
Reiterates the enthusiasm for the bop and dancing without restraint.
Oh bop, honey bop, well don't stop, a-honey bop
Encourages continuous and unstoppable dancing to the bop.
Well, now you've heard the dance, they call the bunny-hop
Recalls the bunny-hop dance and contrasts it with the current fascination with the bop.
But the cats are in a trance, all they wanna do is bop
Repeats the idea that people are captivated and want to dance the bop.
So bop, honey bop, well bop, a-honey bop
Reiterates the enthusiasm for dancing and encourages continuing the bop.
Well bop, honey bop, well don't stop, a-bop-bop-bop
Emphasizes the call to not stop and keep bopping energetically.
