Subject: Lyr Add: THE BRISTOL STOMP (Kal Mann, Dave Appell)
I never actually did this dance, and don't even remember what it looked like, but I must have seen it on "American Bandstand." I remember the popular song. Lyrics found on the Internet and corrected by me based on the mp3 file.

THE BRISTOL STOMP
[Words and Music by Kal Mann and Dave Appell]

CHORUS: The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol
When they do the Bristol Stomp.
Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin'
When they do the Bristol Stomp.

1. The sounds are spinnin' every Friday night.
They dance the greatest since they do it right.
But here's the latest--it's a crazy sight to see. CHORUS

2. It started in Bristol at a deejay hop.
They holler and whistle, never want to stop.
We pony and twist it and we rock with Daddy G. CHORUS

BRIDGE: It's got that groovy beat
That makes you stomp your feet.
Come along and fly. Wanta feel fine.
Then once you dance with me,
You'll fall in love, you'll see.
The Bristol Stomp will make you mine, all mine.

(Repeat 1, CHORUS, 2, CHORUS)
