C
Yeah, he's so unco-ordinated.
F
Yeah, and so disorientated,
C
And when we have a High School Hop
F
You ought to see that idiot bop
Bb B C C#
And his arms and his legs
Dm G
Seem to have minds of their own,
F
And you don't need brains
To have educated muscles and bones.
C
Yeah, you ought to see him dance
F
He moves like he's in a trance,
C
And when we have a High School Hop
F
You ought to see that idiot rock,
Bb B C C#
And he's finally proved
Dm
That you don't need a high I.Q.

To make your body move.

Now he's created a dance that everybody's trying to do.

Now cross those eyes.
Put your hands on your hips,

Now wriggle your backside.
