She Bop

She Bop, a song by Cyndi Lauper (b1953).

Title: She Bop
Lyrics: Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, Gary Corbett and Rick Chertoff
Singer: Cyndi Lauper
Date: 1983
「• bop = To hit or strike. (AHD)」
We-hell-I see them every night in tight blue jeans —
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up — good vibration —
Oop — she bop
「• stitch in time saves nine = a idiom. It means, a little preventive maintenance can eliminate the need for major repairs later. [The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition.]
The idiom here alludes to infibulation, that is, sewing up vulva to prevent masturbation or pre-marital coitus.」
「• go blind = Masturbation causes blindness is old myth often used to scare the young.」
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

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...
