Well, I know a cool cat from way downtown
He`s been boppin` all around
In this ole world he`s livin` fast
Someday I`m afraid he`s gonna run outta gas
So if you`re travelin` that way, too
I tell you, friend, what you better do

Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Hey, ya don`t know what you`re missin`
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
`Cause ya might be missin` kissin`

If you`re trav`lin` slow, you`ll go a long, long way
Now, Farmer Jones, he came to town
And saw that boppin` all around
He learned to do it, there`s no doubt
I`m afraid someday he`ll burn his motor out
So if you`re travelin` that way, too
I tell you, friend, what you better do

Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Hey, ya don`t know what you`re missin`
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
`Cause ya might be missin` kissin`

First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
Now the rhumba, samba, then the bop
Well, I don`t know what`s a-comin` next
But this ole world`s in a terrible fix
So if you`re travelin` that way, too
I tell you, friend, what you better do

Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Hey, ya don`t know what you`re missin`
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
`Cause ya might be missin` kissin`

Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Ya gotta stop
