Lyrics:

Fopped last night and the night before

I had to fopp outside and then I went indoor

Fopped so hard I made the people roar

They stood back and gave me all the floor

I did the fopp, the fopp

They wouldn't let me stop

Yeah I was foppin' and rockin'

Had the whole house boppin'

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was

Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your

Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was

Foppin'

Fopp with me and I'll fopp with you

Foppin' is the brand new thing to do

Fopped so hard that I lost my shoe

I fopped so tough they had to make some room

Break your leg, don't you pop your back

Do your thing, don't you give no slack

Shake your hips and then you turn around

Well first you fopp it up

And then you fopp it down

Fopp me right, don't you fopp me wrong

We'll be here foppin' all night long

I'm too short, baby, but you're too tall,

But when we're foppin' that don't mean a thing at all, yeah

Foppin', the way it makes you go, everybody was

Foppin', everywhere you go, do all your

Shoppin', wiggle to the floor, everybody was

Foppin'

Yeah

Fopp and rock

Fopp and rock

Yeah, I did the fopp and rock

Fopp and rock

Oh, fopp and rock

Yeah, I did the fopp and rock

Yeah, fopp and rock

Yeah, I did the fopp and rock

Yeah
