Listen & view Christine Lavin - Amoeba Hop lyrics & tabs

Just a little puddle of muddy water
Left there after the rain
I got down on my knees
I looked close
I saw things I couldn't explain
There was all those itty bitty
Teeny weeny little tiny creatures
Swimmin' and sloshin' about
I put my ear down to that puddle
I could hear one of them shout

We're goin' to the Amoeba Hop
Everybody's gonna be there
Got my eye on a cute paramecium
You know the one with the wavy hair
Rockin' and rollin' shakin' our cells
And flappin' our flagella all over
Well the good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop

(That's what I heard... I mean it! I mean it!)

Then I spied a shy protozoan
Swingin' all by hisself
He was lookin' for a partner to shake a leg with
But everyone was dancin' with everybody else
So he was so lonely till Mother Nature
Showed him what to do
He boogied down he did a little binary fission
Split his-cellf in two (and now he's got a partner)

For the Amoeba Hop
Everybody gonna be there
My, oh my, of nucleoli
Have you ever seen such a perfect pair?
Rockin' and rollin' shakin' their cells
Slappin' their cilia all over
Well, the good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop
Good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop

Some folks that one-celled animals
Don't know how to swing
People who say that... are wrong
'Cause I saw a band of algae
Get up there and sing:
"When the red red robin comes
Bob-bob-bobbin' along"
But to them it's a monster song!

Oooh the puddle was jumpin'
So was I
I guess I lost my head
In my excitement I splashed it dry
Oh my god I thought they was dead!
But no! They just come splashin' down
Right here into my hand
And sure enough I could still hear
That swingin' algae band Sayin'

We're going to the Amoeba Hop,
Everybody gonna be there,
Got my eye on a cute paramecium,
Look at the hair girls! Look at the hair!
Rockin' and rollin' shakin' our cells
Slappin' pseudopodia all over
Well the good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop
Good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop-hop hop bada
Good times don't never gonna stop
When you go to the Amoeba Hop!
