Words and music by bob seger
Wallys getting anxious thinkin bout tonight
Bruce is all spiffy lookin wicked lookin right
Eddies getting spruced
And donnas getting loose
Theyre passin round the bottle
And theyre gettin good and juiced
B.g.s winin dinin checkin talent at the club
Skippers hauntin second lookin forward to his rub
The busters from the country
And the hitters from the shop
Everybody wants to do the horizontal bop
Someone bring the records
Someone get the brew
Someone get a house
Buddy well know what to do
Someone tell the ladies
Someone make a deal
If we cant find a house
Then someone better find a field
Grass is good as carpet
Anyplace is fine
Its time to get to rockin
Babe its time to make it shine
Tell em well be dancin
Dancin till we drop
Its time to get down and do the horizontal bop
Theyre fillin up the corners
Theyre fillin up the streets
You can feel the tension
You can almost feel the heat
The musics gettin louder
The beats gittin fast
Summers finally made it
Yeah its finally here at last
The pony cars are cruisin on woodward avenue
Go and try to passem
Theyll smoke you if you do
The whole towns shakin from the bottom to the top
Everybody wants to do the horizontal bop
The busters from the country
And the hitters from the shop
Everybody wants to do the horizontal bop
Tell em well be dancin
Dancin till we drop
Everybody wants to do the horizontal bop
