Boppin' Bonnie - Lyrics - Eddie Bond

In the mid-1950s, Bond recorded for Mercury Records and toured with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Warren Smith and others. He is infamous for having rejected the then 18-year-old Elvis Presley, who was auditioning for Bond's band. It was shortly thereafter that Presley recorded his first single at Sun Records.

Now, you may think I'm losin' my mind About a-Tip Top Toddy and a lousy jive A real gone cat, a boppin' baby blue A real gone caper and you gotta turn her loose Boppin' Bonnie, hey-hey Boppin' Bonnie, Ho-ho Boppin' Bonnie, hey-hey Well, there ain't no style that Bonnie can't bop There's a rhtyhm in her bones as she moves her feet Lovin' in her eyes that's ooh so sweet A style that's made by a rock 'n' roll queen The rockingest mama that you ever done seen Boppin' Bonnie, hey-hey Boppin' Bonnie, Ho-ho Boppin' Bonnie, hey-hey Well, there ain't no style that Bonnie can't bop Well, I tried and I tried to slow her down She done got to be the talk of the town When I try to make her stop She said, daddy don't you know your baby's gotta bop Boppin' Bonnie, hey-hey Boppin' Bonnie, Ho-ho Boppin' Bonnie, hey-hey Well, there ain't no style that Bonnie can't bop
