We're goin' hoppin', we're goin' hoppin' today
Where things are poppin' the Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in on all the music they play
On the bandstand (bandstand)We're goin' swingin', we're gonna swing in the crowd
And we'll be clingin' and floatin' high as a cloud
The phones are ringin', my mom and dad are so proud
I'm on bandstand (bandstand)And I'll jump and hey, I may even show 'em my handstand
Because I'm on, because I'm on the American bandstand
When we dance real slow I'll show all the guys in the grandstand
What a swinger I am, I am on American bandstandWe're goin' hoppin', we're goin' hoppin' today
Where things are poppin' the Philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in on all the music they play
On the bandstand (bandstand)Bandstand, bandstand, bandstand
Bandstand, bandstand, bandstandHey I'm makin' my mark, gee, this joint is jumpin'
They made such a fuss just to see us arrive
Hey it's Mr.Dick Clark, what a place you've got here
Swell spot, the music's hot here, best in the east
Give it at least a seventy fiveNow for all you Joe's, here goes my American handstand
Because I'm on, because I'm on the American bandstand
As we dance real slow, I'm showin' the guys on the grandstand
That I like my girl but I love American bandstandThe singers' croonin', he ain't the greatest but gee
My baby's swoonin' in front of all of TV
So if you tune in, you'll see my baby and me
On the bandstand (bandstand)And now we're hoppin' and we'll be hoppin' all day
Where things are poppin' the Philadelphia way
And you can drop in on all the music they play
On the bandstandAnd we'll rock and roll and stroll on American
Lindy hop and slop, it's American
Tune in, I'm on, turn on, I'm in, I'm on
Today, bandstand
