Lyrics
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait
You wake up wired and draw on your makeup
And the city breathes and the city jumps to life
Lately, it seems, your time is all used up
Chasing dreams of money and the good life
But there is something you've been thinking of
Lately, you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so hard to hold
The alarm rings, you gotta get up, you gotta get up
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want
Bop 'til you drop, 'til you're sittin' pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait
All the people say you're the lucky one
But you don't believe it and you want to stop
And you want to take some time
To suss out a feeling and look for a reason
And the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing
'Cause there is something you've been thinking of
Lately, you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings you gotta get up, you gotta get up
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Keep on working day and night
And don't stop 'til you get what you want
Bop 'til you drop, 'til you're sittin' pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love won't, love won't wait
There is something you've been thinking of
Lately, you're feeling the power of love
Everybody says it's so, so hard to hold
The alarm rings, you've gotta get up, you've gotta get up
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Keep on working day and night
(Bop 'til you drop) Bop!
(Bop 'til you drop) Bop!
(Bop 'til you drop) Bop!
(Bop 'til you drop)
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want
Bop 'til you drop, 'til you're sittin' pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will, love will have to wait
Bop 'til you drop in the hot city
Keep on working day and night
Don't stop 'til you get what you want
Bop 'til you drop, 'til you're sittin' pretty
Burn the candle, burn it bright
Love will have to wait
(Bop 'til you drop)
