Guitar intro

Hey cat, where are ya goin' man?
Man, I'm going down to Bop Street
Tell me cat, where's that direction?
Man, ain't you heard? They got one of 'em in every town
Real cool!

Ba-a-op Street, Ba-a-op Street
Oh, it's the cat and kittens of old Bop Street
Jumpin' Jacks, they ain't no square
A green paint pants and great pair
On Bop Street they're the main attraction
'Cause they're the cats who crave the action

A-jumpin' here, a-jumpin' there
A-jump jump jumpin' everywhere
The Jumpin' Jacksons are hard to beat
'Cause they're the cats 'n' kittens of old Bop Street

Rock!
Guitar break

Well, a dreamy day when it starts at nine
A-rockin' and a-rollin' all the time
A-green blue jeans and crazy shoes
A-jumpin' on Bop Street, losing the blues

A-jumpin' here, a-jumpin' there
A-jump jump jumpin' everywhere
The Jumpin' Jacksons are hard to beat
'Cause they're the cats 'n' kittens of old Bop Street

Jump, Jack, jump!
Guitar break

Well it's the street where the cool cats go
To spend their time and their hard earned dough
A-boppin' on Bop Street, goin' 'round
The juke box music with the rockin' sound

Well a-jumpin' here, jumpin' there
A-jump jump jumpin' everywhere
The Jumpin' Jacksons are hard to beat
'Cause they're the cats 'n' kittens of old Bop Street

Guitar break

Ba-a-op Street, Ba-a-op Street
Come on man, let's get going
Yeah, let's go on down to Bop Street
Ba-a-op Street
