An old cool cat from way downtown
He's been boppin' all around
This old world were living fast
Afraid some day we're gonna run outta gas

If you're travelin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missing
Stop, look and listen
You might be missing kissin'
If you're traveling slow
You'll go a long long way

Well Farmer Jones he came to town
Saw that boppin' all around
Learned to do it, there's no doubt
Afraid some day, he'll burn his motor out

If you're travelin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin'
If you're traveling slow
You'll go a long long way

First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
Now the rumble, samba then the bop
I don't know what's comin' next
This old world's in a terrible fix

If you're travellin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin'
If you're traveling slow
You'll go a long long way

I know a cool cat from way outta town
He's been boppin' all around
This old world we're living fast
Afraid some day we're gonna run outa gas

If you're travelin' that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta stop, look and listen
You don't know what you're missin'
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin'
If you're traveling slow
You'll go a long long way

Stop, look listen
Stop, look listen
Stop, stop, stop
