Life Begins at the Hop

I have learnt there's a magical spot at the hop
Come with me to the church on the corner the hop
There's nuts and crisps and c-c-c-cola on tap
A good time had by the boys and girls at the hop

Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop
The cheap guitars, too young for the bars at the hop
We'll jive around, make fools of ourselves then stop
Back next week with another ridiculous tie knot

Tell me what do you say
Tell me what do you say
Life begins at the hop, boys and girls


Crisps
A snack food, commonly referred to as "chips" in the US. However, "chips" in Britain are what Americans call "French fries."

Standard junk goes here. I'm in no way officially related to XTC or anything remotely connected to them. I'm just a fan - like you, assuming you're a fan too... But anything that's not © someone/something to do with XTC is © 2001-2002 by me (Jen Maher-Bontrager) and I reserve all rights to that stuff. If you want to reuse something that's mine, please ask me first.
