We're goin' hoppin' (hop!), we're goin' hoppin' today
Where things are poppin' (pop!), the Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in (drop!) on all the music they play
On the Bandstand (Bandstand)

We're goin' swingin' (swing!), we're gonna swing in the crowd
And we'll be clingin' (cling!) and floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin' (ring!), my mom and dad are so proud
I'm on Bandstand (Bandstand)

And I'll jump and hey, I may even show 'em a handstand
Because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
When we dance, we'll slow up, show all the guys in the grandstand
What a swinger I am, I am on American Bandstand

We're goin' hoppin', (there you go) we're goin' hoppin' today
Where things are poppin' (what a show), the Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in (say hello) on all the music they play
On the Bandstand (Bandstand)

(Bandstand) (Bandstand) (Bandstand) (Bandstand)

Flyin' low!
Cue the show!
Ready to go!
What a pro!

Hey, I'm makin' the mark
Gee, this joint is jumpin'
They make 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
Beverly East, give it at least a seventy-five

Now, for all you Joes, it goes by American Bandstand
Because I'm on, because I'm on the American Bandstand
As we dance real slow, we're showin' the guys in the grandstand
That I like my girl but I love American Bandstand

The swinger's croonin', we gave the grade a fourteen
My baby's swoonin' in front of all the TV
So if you tune in, you'll see my baby and me
On the Bandstand (Bandstand)

And now we're hoppin' (keep cool, keep cool) and we'll be hoppin' all day
Where things are poppin' (keep cool, be true to your school) the Philadelphia way
And you can drop in (no school, real cool) on all the records they play
On the Bandstand (Bandstand)

And we'll rock and roll on 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!!!!
