 I had a date for the hop last night

 Up to her door everything seemed right

 But to my surprise as I opened the door

 I couldn't tell the front from the back

 "Cause she was wearin' a sack dress

 Whew what a mess!

 The last time I saw her, man what a shape!!

 And now she's got a shape like an egg!

 

 No chemise, please, not for me, please

 Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack

 And bring a sweater back!!

 

 When we arrived at the hop

 We started in doin' the stroll

 I told her I wanted to stop

 But she wanted rock and roll

 I told her forty times and it really was a crime

 I was talkin' to the back of her head!!

 

 No chemise, please, not for me, please

 Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack

 And bring a sweater back!!---yeah

 

 (instrumental interlude)

 

 Sure would like to find the creator

 Who covered up my baby in this tent

 He musta been a woman-hater

 I keep wonderin' where the wiggle went

 So won't you change the fad, have pity on me please

 Put 'er back in her dungarees

 

 No chemise, please, not for me, please

 Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack

 And bring a sweater back!!

 

 No chemise, please, not for me, please

 Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack

 Bring a sweater back!!
