We're goin' hoppin' 
We're goin' hoppin' today 
Where things are poppin' 
The philadelphia way 
We're gonna drop in 
On all the music they play 
On the bandstand 

We're goin' swingin' 
We're gonna swing in the crowd 
And we'll be clingin' 
And floatin' high as a cloud 
The phones are ringin' 
My mom and dad are so proud 
I'm on bandstand 

And I'll jump, and hey, 
I may even show'em my handstand 
Because I'm on, 
because I'm on the american bandstand 
when we dance real slow 
I'll show all the guys in the grandstand 
What a swinger I am, 
I am on american bandstand 

We're goin' hoppin' 
We're goin' hoppin' today 
Where things are poppin' 
The philadelphia way 
We're gonna drop in 
On all the music they play 
On the bandstand 

Bandstand bandstand bandstand 
Bring it on,here on the show,ready to go,on a roll 
Hey I'm makin' my mark 
Gee, this joint is jumpin' 
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive 
Hey, it's Mr.Dick Clark 
What a place you've got here 

Swell spot the musicandacute;s hot here 
Best in the east, 
Give it at least a seventy five! 

Now for all you Joe's 
Here goes my american handstand 
Because I'm on, 
Because I'm on the American Bandstand 
As we dance real slow 
I'm showin' the guys in the grandstand 
That I like my girl, 
But I love american bandstand 

The singers' croonin' 
He ain't the greatest but gee 
My baby's swoonin' 
In front of all of TV 
So if you tune in 
You'll see my baby and me 
On the bandstand 

And now we're hoppin' 
   ((it's boss, baby it's boss)) 
   ((there you go)) 
and we'll be hoppin' all day 
   ((it's cool, baby it's cool))
   ((what a show)) 
The philadelphia way 
And you can drop in 
   ((no school, baby no school)) 
   ((wave hello)) 
On all the music they play 
On the bandstand 

And we'll rock and roll and stroll on american 
Lindy hop and slop, it's american 
Tune in, I'm on, turn on, I'm in, I'm on 

Today
   ((Bandstand))
