Lyrics Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow

Bandstand Boogie

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 swingin' 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

Bandstand The Bandstand The 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 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 Bnadstand

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 hopppin 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)
