Song chosen - No.2 Jingle Bell Rock

 

Summertime Bop

Summertime, summertime, summertime bop
Come why not to the summertime hop
Movin’ n’ groovin’ dancers everywhere
Wearing flowers in their hair.

Summertime, summertime, summertime bop
Boppin’ around the clock till one drops
Swingin’ and swayin’ havin’ a great time
Until midnight chimes.

For young hearts it’s a brill time
To bop away all day
Summertime’s a dreamtime
For gathering friends along the way.

Boy meets girl and girl meets boy
As billowin’ breeze blows
Romance fills the air 
As the summertime flows.

On your feet, to the beat, dance in the street
Give it all you have got
Rotate those hips, do the jive and the twist
Maybe try a fox trot.
For that’s summertime  
Yes that’s summertime 
That’s the summertime bop.
