Life Begins At The Hop (First Rehearsal Extract) - XTC

I have learnt there’s a magical spot at the hop

Come with me to the church on the corner the hop

There’s nuts and there’s crisps and there’s c-c-c-cola on tap

A good time had by those boys and those girls at the hop

Tell me what do you say (tell me what do you say)

Tell me what do you say

I tell you

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Prepare yourself for the boys in the band at the hop

The cheap guitars, they’re too young for the bars at the hop

We’ll jive around, make fools of ourselves 'til they stop

We’re back next week with another ridiculous tie knot

Tell me what do you say (tell me what do you say)

Tell me what do you say

I tell you

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Tell me what do you say (tell me what do you say)

Tell me what do you say (tell me what do you say)

I tell you

Life begins at the hop, boys and girls

Tell me what do you say (tell me what do you say)

Life begins at the hop, la la la la la la la
