Keep Boppin

He hopped and bopped across the charts to the top Until a tragic crop landing put him to a stop Performed Chantilly lace for pretty faces Chase young aces through melodical paces Love notes in rock’n’roll quotes for youth emotes Giddy nervous gulping throats in pink petticoats Crooned bee bop tunes of teenage moon As new love bloomed in first kiss swoon It went so wrong, the piece that didn’t belong Songs we sing along to keep a legacy strong Feelin’ fine in fame prime until end of the line The great music that defined, declined in 1959 Keep rockin’ with Ritchie and boppin’ with Buddy To nifty fifty’s charisma, a music history to study
