Bandstand Boogie Songtext
von Barry Manilow

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 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′ hoppin′ today
Where things are poppin'
The Philadelphia way
We′re gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the Bandstand (Bandstand)

Bandstand
Bandstand
Bandstand
What d'ya know, here on the show, ready to go, what a pro

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 Joes, 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 (Bandstand)

And now we′re hoppin'
And we′ll be hoppin' all day
When things are poppin′
The Philadelphia way
And you can drop in
On all the music they play
On the Bandstand
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
