Grasshopper Hop

Grasshopper Hop

Let’s all go to the Grasshopper Hop
To bebop, pop, hop, bebop, dowop

Where all the bugs must kick up their feet
To dance in rhythm to the insect beat

But no matter how good a bug can swing
Not one can best the big Grasshopper King

He’s the coolest one in the party crowd
His swingin’ steps do the kingdom proud

He’ll kick to the left and kick to the right
Then jump the highest with all of his might

Spinning and twisting he lands with ease
His handsome wings slap the back of his knees

The girl bugs twitter and buzz with delight
To see his performance…oh, what a sight!

The boy bugs try to copy his moves
But not a one can keep up with his grooves

So they’ll dance all night at the Grasshopper Hop
To bebop, pop, hop, bebop, dowop

Until the sun rises…well…they must swing
To follow that rhythm and do their thing

Now this rhyme is over and it’s time to go
See you next time to watch him really show

So come again to the Grasshopper Hop
To bebop, pop, hop, bebop, dowop

And dowop, bebop, hop, pop, bebop!
