[Verse 1]
C7                           F7
Well, I know a cool cat from way downtown
C7
He's been boppin' all around
C7
In this ole world he's livin' fast
     C  N.C
Someday I'm afraid he's gonna run outta gas

C7            G7
So if you're travelin' that way, too
   C7
I tell you, friend, what you better do


[Chorus]
C7             F7       C7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
         F7                    C7
Hey, ya don't know what you're missin'
          F7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
 C7
'Cause ya might be missin' kissin'
           G7                    F7              C7
If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long, long way

[Verse 2]
C7                    F7
Now, Farmer Jones, he came to town
    C7
And saw that boppin' all around
C7                    F7
He learned to do it, there's no doubt
       C   N.C.
I'm afraid someday he'll burn his motor out

   G7
So if you're travelin' that way, too
  C7                         F7     C7
I tell you, friend, what you better do


[Chorus]
C7              F7       C7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
        F7                     C7
Hey, ya don't know what you're missin'
          F7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
           C7
'Cause ya might be missin' kissin'
           G7                    F7              C7
If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long, long way

[Bridge]
C7                               G7
First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
         C7
Now the rhumba, samba, then the bop
      F7
Well, I don't know what's a-comin' next
          C  N.C.
But this ole world's in a terrible fix

    G7
So, if you're travelin' that way, too
   C7                        F7     C7
I tell you, friend, what you better do


[Chorus]
C7              F7       C7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
         F7                     C7
Hey, ya don't know what you're missin'
C7             F7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
           C7
'Cause ya might be missin' kissin'
           G7                    F7              C7
If you're trav'lin' slow, you'll go a long, long way


[Outro]
C7              F7       C7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
          F7             C7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
C7        F7             C7
Ya gotta stop, look and listen
C7
Ya gotta stop...
