The Dovells Bristol Stomp Lyrics:
(The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol,)
(When they do the Bristol Stomp,)
(Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin',)
(When they do the Bristol Stomp.)
Whoa, whoa, they start spinnin' every Friday night.
They dance the greatest and they do it right.
Well, here's the latest.
It's the craziest sight to see.
(The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol,)
Whoa, oh, oh.
(When they do the Bristol Stomp.)
Whoa, oh, oh.
(Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin',)
Ah-ah-ah, whoa.
(When they do the Bristol Stomp.)
Whoa, whoa.
It started in Bristol at a dee-jay hop.
They hollered and whistled,
Never want to stop.
We pony and twisted,
And we rocked with Daddy "G"
[4] .
(The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol,)
(When they do the Bristol Stomp.)
Whoa, oh, oh.
(Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin',)
Ah-ah-ah, ah.
(When they do the Bristol Stomp.)
(Duh-duh-doo.)
It's got that groovy beat,
That makes you stomp your feet.
Come along and try, gonna feel fine.
And once you dance with me,
You'll fall in love, you see.
The Bristol Stomp will make you,
Mine all mine.
The stars are spinnin' every Friday night.
They dance the greatest and they do it right.
