+ Show full styles

(Verse 1)
The headlights were shining on the swampy shore
Where the teenagers don't go to dance anymore
A green misty vapor started rising high
Underneath the cold stare of a gothic sky
And the radio speaker began to scream
(Chorus)
And we’re doing the hop at the Black Lagoon
Dancing a waltz with a radioactive moon
The drums are thumping a rockabilly beat
With a creature-feature rhythm full of phantom heat
Oh baby, jump in, let the muddy water rise
(Verse 2)
A shadow crawled out of the deep dark slime
A retro monster from a prehistoric time
He wore a tuxedo made of seaweed and moss
And he shook his webbed hands as he stepped across
To join the wild party on the muddy bank
(Chorus)
And we’re doing the hop at the Black Lagoon
Dancing a waltz with a radioactive moon
The drums are thumping a rockabilly beat
With a creature-feature rhythm full of phantom heat
Oh baby, jump in, let the muddy water rise
(Verse 3)
The guitars were dripping with a slap-back echo sound
Like a lightning bolt hitting the swampy ground
You kicked off your saddle shoes and started to spin
With a wicked little laugh as the water rolled in
We didn't care about the mud or the moss
(Chorus)
And we’re doing the hop at the Black Lagoon
Dancing a waltz with a radioactive moon
The drums are thumping a rockabilly beat
With a creature-feature rhythm full of phantom heat
Oh baby, jump in, let the muddy water rise
(Verse 4)
The Chevy was sinking in the quicksand deep
While the rest of the town was fast asleep
The dashboard was glowing like a neon spark
As we danced with the phantoms in the heavy dark
A drive-in movie tragedy in black and white
(Chorus)
And we’re doing the hop at the Black Lagoon
Dancing a waltz with a radioactive moon
The drums are thumping a rockabilly beat
With a creature-feature rhythm full of phantom heat
Oh baby, jump in, let the muddy water rise
(Verse 5)
The sun is trying to break through the gray
But the swamp won't let us escape today
We’re locked in the mud of a vintage groove
Where the midnight needle doesn't want to move
Forever dancing with the creature in the dark
(Chorus)
And we’re doing the hop at the Black Lagoon
Dancing a waltz with a radioactive moon
The drums are thumping a rockabilly beat
With a creature-feature rhythm full of phantom heat
Oh baby, jump in, let the muddy water rise
