HOPPIN’ ON THE HOUSATONIC
Words & Music by Grayson Hugh

Well 

Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop

on the Housatonic

hop, hop, hop, hop

get hoppin’ on the Housatonic

Down in Derby there’s a cool place to go
it’s a little juke joint, you gotta be in the know
place gets rockin’, June on a Saturday night

if you come from the river look for the shinin’ light
drinks are cold, band is hot

gonna have a good time, ready or not

We gonna hop, hop hop, hop, hop

on the Housatonic
hop, hop, hop, hop

get hoppin’ on the Housatonic

Better get dressed, put gas in the tank
follow that river, right there on the bank
just a few miles from the bridge on 34

go there once, you wanna go back for more
ice is cold, band is hot

get on the dance floor, grab your spot

We gonna hop, hop hop, hop, hop

on the Housatonic
hop, hop, hop, hop

get hoppin’ on the Housatonic

Better get ready, better get ready
better get ready, better get ready
whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
whoa

Come on Betty, come on Bobby Sue
I know your sister gonna be comin’ too
Tell your mama don’t bother waitin’ up
we gonna be out til the sun is comin’ up
drinks are cold, band is hot

gonna have a good time, ready or not

We gonna hop, hop, hop, hop, hop

on the Housatonic

hop, hop, hop, hop

get hoppin’ on the Housatonic

Hop, hop, gonna hop, hop
hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
on the Housatonic
hop, hop, hop, hop
get hoppin’ on the Housatonic
