Chords: C~~~Am~~~~~F~~~~~~~~G

Lyrics:

They were gathered at the Mudcat, BanjoBonnie, Caitrin, Pop
When the music started thumpin, and they started in to bop!
WHat was it they were doing? That crazy dance so free!!??
Well they were doing the Mbo Bop, c'mon and do it just like me!!

Cho:They did the bop!!
It was the Mbo Bop
THey did the bop! It was a folkies hop!
They did the bop!
It was the MBO Bop!
They did the bop!
They never want to stop!

Okay guys -- this is a start, a song that really needed writing, and I want so real collaborative input on these verses. Shades of the Monster Mash...

I dunno who posted this query, or what they really wanted, but in this late-night flail this is what they got! :>)

Well its a helluva lot better than what they asked for!!!

Frankly, I didn't know it had any words besides MMMBop and would it possibly matter if it did? Try the Hansens web site for enlightenment on this most meaningful of songs.

Spaw--rarely a snob, but this is ridiculous!!!

No Meebo, he isn't...But he DID flame a MOUSE!!!! Can you believe it???? A MOUSE??? I'm incensed....which is better than the mouse which was incinerated.

That was a Mousse, and the contention about my flaming it in an unusual manner is merely a canard, which is being handled in due legal procedure on another htread by my advocates.

Back to the song, you guys!!

The place was really rockin' when the laughing kat strolled in,
She jumped up on the table, yelled 'let the Mbo Bop begin!'
Then Amos lit the candle and the flaming mousse ran by
That's when the crowd began to flee, Mbo bopping on the fly!

They did the bop!!
It was the Mbo Bop
They did the bop! It was a folkies hop!
They did the bop!
It was the MBO Bop!
They did the bop!
They never want to stop!

Gargoyle from his crypt began to arise
With his flamin' group The Kat Kicker Five
Popped another lid and shook his mouse,
"Words of care and comfort? Not in my House!

They did the bop!!

I am cracking up at work, attracting undue attention, at the free-rein creativity and humour you guys bring to bear. I love it. Aine, I hope this composite makes it to the song book.

Amos -- We haven't finished it yet! But, when we do, it's definitely made the cut for the Songbook.

Let's see:

Joe Offer came a cruisin' in, his head upon a stick
And the GUEST who never shall be named, came up to get a lick
That's when the riot started and chocolate mousse began to spurt
Spaw cried, "Don't touch it, suckah, or you're likely to get hurt!"

They did the bop!!
It was the Mbo Bop
They did the bop! It was a folkies hop!
They did the bop!
It was the MBO Bop!
They did the bop!
They never want to stop!

Big Mick's Irish temper was beginning to flare
Shambles and Bugsy his sentiments did share
Seems their frustrations they could not conceal
For they wanted to know if the rude guests were real

Witty banter and thread creep is the specialty
Lyrics and tunes? They dish it out for free!
Lemons into lemonade, when things go wrong,
Down at the Mudcat they turn it into song!

They did the bop!!
It was the Mbo Bop
They did the bop!
It was a folkies hop!
They did the bop!

Sorry, just wanted to add new verses and I must have done a select all.

Go Susan, Go!!!

Lil' Mbo was caterwhalin' that his poem could not be heard
For the crowd was Mbo Boppin' to Fats Waller and The Bird
Max picked up his new dobro, played a chord, began to sing,
"If you guys don't settle down now, I'll shut off the whole damn thing!"

Chorus

Well, they twisted and murmured, but began to settle down
For the 'Cats all know to listen when the Max is in the town
Mbo hisself took notice, said his party piece so neat
And they hoisted him on high and Mbo Bopped into the street!

Chorus

Damn, Aine, you have got It!!! You just raised the bar on the whole songwriting process around here; what great lines!

Thanks for a first rate chuckle. This virtual shindig is better than New years at the Copacabana!!

Wait a minute! Who's Ricky??

So if chillblains and the fever have begun to get you down
And you're ready to decapitate the nearest kid around!
C'mon down to Mudcat heaven, just dispense with all the fuss,
Where it's a treat to beat your feet and do
The Mbo Bop with us!

Chorus:

They did the bop!!
It was the Mbo Bop
They did the bop!
It was a folkies hop!
They did the bop!
It was the MBO Bop!
They did the bop!
They never want to stop!
They did the Bop!

Ricky as in Lucy's Ricky -- he was always hanging a place like the 'Copa', and leaving that poor mad red-haired woman to her own devices . . .

Wonderful wrap-up, Amos! Here it goes into the Songbook . . .

Well, congratulations 'Catters! With the addition of 'The Mbo Bop' and 'Reload!' from the 'Hating 'Puters' thread, the Mudcat Songbook now has reached 100 songs and tunes!!

Ring that bell and blow that horn!! It couldn't have been done without you, Amos & Metchosin!!
