Queen of the Hop

Bobby Darin

Written by Woody Harris, Walden-Tweed



- (#9 in 1958)



Well, you can talk about your Julie and your Peggy Sue.

You can keep your Miss Molly and your Mary Lou.

Can your prom do the chicken or doin' the bop?

I got a girl they call the queen of the hop.



(chorus)

Oh well I love my queen.

Do you know who I mean?

Sweet little sixteen

Yes, that's my queen.



Well, she wears short shorts and a rock 'n roll shoes.

You ought to see her dance to the yellow dog blues.

She's my sugar time baby, I'm her lollipop,

An' everybody knows I love my queen of de hop

(chorus)



Oh well she tunes in to Bandstand every day

To watch the kids dancin' 'cross the USA.

She don't care 'bout a thing 'ceptin rock 'n roll.

My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll. yeah

She don't care 'bout a thing 'ceptin' rock and roll.

My baby drives me crazy when she does the stroll.

(chorus)

Well, that's my queen.

Yes, that's my queen.

Oh, well that's my queen.

Yes, that's my queen.
