Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar
Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine†
They say I better stop—or I'll go blind†
Oop—she bop—she bop

She bop—he bop—a—we bop
I bop—you bop—a—they bop
Be bop—be bop—a—lu—she bop,
I hope He will understand
She bop—he bop—a—we bop
I bop—you bop—a—they bop
Be bop—be bop—a—lu—she bop,
Oo—oo—she—do—she bop—she bop

(whistle along here)...

Hey, hey—they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messin' with the danger zone
No, I won't worry, and I won't fret—
Ain't no law against it yet—
Oop—she bop—she bop—

She bop—he bop—we bop...
