Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 – October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Dance To Bop Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Well, we're gonna dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street tonight
We're gonna dance to the beat to the heart of the sweet
We're gonna dance in the street tonight
Well, we're gonna find a street that's-a hard to use
Cars in a circle and I'll kick off my shoes
Turn on the radio and leave on the light
I'll grab a little chick and we'll dance all night
We're gonna dance in the street tonight
A-dance in the street tonight
Well now dance to the beat to the heart of the sweet
We're gonna dance in the street tonight (Well yeah)
Well, we're gonna do the chicken, a-gonna do the bop
A-gonna do the stroll and we're gonna do the hop
A-then while we're dancin', tell ya what I'm gonna do
Every now and then I'm gonna steal a kiss from you
And we'll dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street tonight
Well now dance in the street to the heart of the sweet
We're gonna dance in the street tonight (Well, Yeah)
Well, we're gonna dance in the street, hoo-woo-woo
We're gonna dance in the street, hoo-woo-woo
We're gonna dance in the street, oh honey
Gonna dance in the street, ah ha
Gonna dance in the street to the heart of the sweet
We're gonna dance in the street tonight
Well now, dance in the street tonight
Gonna dance in the street tonight
Wooo, dance in the street, ah ha
A-dance in the street, ooh ho
A-dance in the street to the heart of the sweet
We're gonna dance in the street tonight
