I know a cool cat from way downtown
He's been boppin' all around
This ole world he's livin' fast
I'm afraid he's gonna run outta gas
If you're travelin' that way, too
I tell you, folks, what you better do
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look and listen
Ya might be missin' kissin'
If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long way
Well, Farmer Jones, he came to town
Saw that boppin' all around
Learned to do it, there's no doubt
Afraid someday he'll burn his motor out
If you're travelin' that way, too
I tell you, folks, what you better do
Stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look and listen
Ya, might be missin' kissin'
If you're traveling slow, you'll go along way
First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
Now the rhumba, samba, then the bop
I don't know what's a-comin' next
This ole world's in a terrible fix
If you're travelin' that way, too
I tell you, folks, what you better do
Ya gotta, stop, look and listen
don't know what you're missing
Stop, look and listen
Ya, might be missing kissing
If you're traveling slow, you'll go a long way
I know a cool cat from way downtown
He's been boppin' all around
This ole world he's livin' fast
I'm afraid he's gonna run outta gas
If you're travelin' that way, too
I tell you, folks, what you better do
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look and listen
Ya might be missin' kissin'
If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long way
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
Stop, stop, stop!
