The Grasshopper (Let Him Hop)

(album: Return Of The Wildest - 1961)

Hop
Yes, let him hop
I say, I say, let him hop
Yes, let him hop, hop, hop

One grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back
The rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo, they did the applejack
The alligators had a feast on tomato salad jack
When one grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back

Let him hop
Yes, let him hop
Yeah, now let him hop
Let him hop, hop, hop

A swinging spider spun a web and asked the fly to dance
The bullfrog and the beetle and the bumblebee said "what a fine romance"
The moth flew too near the flame, hot sacroiliac
When one grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back

They needed space, they left this place to really dig this jive
Imagined they'd blow, and Joe scarecrow gave everybody five
The groundhog swayed, forgot the shade, the elephant balled the jack
When one grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back

Let him hop
Yes, let him hop
Let him hop
Yes, let him hop, hop, hop

Yes, let him hop
Yes, let him hop
I say, I say, let him hop
Lookie here, let him hop
Yes, little gal, let him hop
I say, I say, I say, let him hop
Yeah, now, let him hop
Lookie here, lookie here, let him hop
