Leave your books at home on a desk
Let's cut out and dig some mess
The band is playing
Moppity-mop
At school kids' hop
College, highschool, junior prom
You want to dance; you can't go wrong
The band is playing
Moppity-mop
At school kids' hop
Boppity-bop
Moppity-mop, moppity-mop-ay
Oh-vat-nee
Oh-chemis-o-reeny
A-bop-a-bee-bee-op-ah-bow-lee-ow
Leave your books at home in a desk
Let's cut out and dig some mess
The band is playing
Moppity-mop
At school kids' hop
