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'l 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'l 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
