In the early 1960s, fad dance songs were all the rage. The Grasshopper, sung by Sam Butera, was Louis Prima’s attempt to hop on this trend.
Hop
Yes, let him hop
I say, I say, let him hop
Yes, let him hop, hop, hop
One grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back
The rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo, they did the applejack
The alligators had a feast on tomato salad jack
When one grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back
Let him hop
Yes, let him hop
Yeah, now let him hop
Let him hop, hop, hop
A swingin' spider spun a web and asked the fly to dance
The bullfrog and the beetle and the bumblеbee said "what a fine romance"
The moth flеw too near the flame, hot sacroiliac
When one grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back
They needed space, they left this place to really dig this jive
Imagined they'd blow, and Joe scarecrow gave everybody five
The groundhog swayed, forgot the shade, the elephant balled the jack
When one grasshopper hopped across the other grasshopper's back
Let him hop
Yes, let him hop
Let him hop
Yes, let him hop, hop, hop
Yes, let him hop
Yes, let him hop
I say, I say, let him hop
Lookie here, let him hop
Yes, little gal, let him hop
I say, I say, I say, let him hop
Yeah, now, let him hop
Lookie here, lookie here, let him hop
The Grasshopper (Let Him Hop) was produced by Louis Prima.
