Everyone on the dance floor for the preshow!!!!!! #AT40
At the hop
Well, you can rock and you can roll
And to the slop and even stroll it
At the hop 🎤
Let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop
Oh, baby let's go to the hop
Oh, baby let's go to the hop
Come on let's go to the hop 🎤💜
Well, you can rock and you can roll
And do the slop and even stroll it
At the hop
When the record stops spinning
You calypso with your chicken
At the hop
Do the dance sensation
That's sweeping the nation
At the hop 🎤
At the hop
All the cats and the chicks
Can get their kicks
At the hop. 🎤

"As followers of William Quantrill and "Bloody Bill" Anderson, they were accused of committing atrocities against Union soldiers and civilian abolitionists, including the Centralia Massacre in 1864." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Jam…
"After the war, as members of various gangs of outlaws, Jesse and Frank robbed banks, stagecoaches, and trains across the Midwest, gaining national fame and often popular sympathy despite the brutality of their crimes."
When I was a young man, I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over 🎤
Then in 1915, my country said, "Son
It's time to stop rambling, 'cause there's work to be done"
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war 🎤
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we sailed away from the quay
And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the cheers
We sailed off for Gallipoli 🎤
Well, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn'
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
And they all looked very happy in the morning 🎤💜💜
But Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many Powers
So sad to see the grieving of the people that he's leaving
And he took the road for God knows in the morning 🎤
We walked him to the station in the rain
We kissed him as we put him on the train
And we sang him a song of times long gone
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again (Far away!) 🎤
