Stop, Look and Listen

An old cool cat from way downtown

He's been boppin all around

This old world were living fast

Afraid some day were gonna run outa gas

If your'e travellin that way too

I'll tell you folks what you better do.



You gotta stop, look and listen

Don't know what you're missing

Stop, look and listen

You might be missing kissin'

If you're travelling slow

You'll go a long, long way.



Well, Farmer Jones he came to town

Saw that boppin all around

Learned to do it, there's no doubt

'Fraid some day he'll burn his motor out

If you're travellin that way too

I'll tell you folks what you better do.



You gotta stop, look and listen

Don't know what you're missin'

Stop, look listen

You might be missing kissin'

If you're travelling slow

You'll go a long, long way.



First came the boogie, then the bunny hop

Now the (rumble, samba) then the bop

I don't know what's comin next

This old world's in a terrible fix

If you're travellin that way too

I'll tell you folks what you better do.



You gotta stop, look and listen

Don't know what you're missin'

Stop, look listen

You might be missing kissin'

If you're travelling slow

You'll go a long long way.



I know a cool cat from way outta town

He's been boppin all around

This old world we're living fast

Afraid some day were gonna run outa gas

If you're travellin that way too

I'll tell you folks what you better do.



You gotta stop, look and listen

You don't know what you're missin'

Stop, look listen

You might be missing kissin'

If you're travelling slow

You'll go a long, long way...
