Barry Manilow
"Bandstand Boogie"


We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin'
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

We're goin' swingin'
We're gonna swing in the crowd
And we'll be clingin'
And floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin'
My mom and dad are so proud
I'm on bandstand

And I'll jump, and hey,
I may even show'em my handstand
Because I'm on,
because I'm on the american bandstand
when we dance real slow
I'll show all the guys in the grandstand
What a swinger I am,
I am on american bandstand

We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin'
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

Bandstand bandstand bandstand

Hey I'm makin' my mark
Gee, this joint is jumpin'
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive
Hey, it's Mr.Dick Clark
What a place you've got here

Swell spot the music´s hot here
Best in the east,
Give it at least a seventy five!

Now for all you Joe's
Here goes my american handstand
Because I'm on,
Because I'm on the american bandstand
As we dance real slow
I'm showin' the guys in the grandstand
That I like my girl,
But I love american bandstand

The singers' croonin'
He ain't the greatest but gee
My baby's swoonin'
In front of all of TV
So if you tune in
You'll see my baby and me
On the bandstand

And now we're hoppin'
(it's boss, baby it's boss) (there you go!)
and we'll be happin' all day
(it's cool, baby it's cool!) (what a show!)
The philadelphia way
And you can drop in
(no school, baby no school!) (wave hello!)
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

And we'll rock and roll and stroll on american
Lindy hop and slop, it's american
Tune in, I'm on, turn on, I'm in, I'm on

Today! (Bandstand)
