They call him the Pop Along Kid
They call him the Pop Along Kid, yeah
Just when you thought you had the latest gifts in fad
No one can handle your stuff, no
This kid broke in the scene
His style was really mean
This kid's got more than enough
To make a name, they challenge him
They come from miles around
It's just that right to chance it, yeah
On the one for good reason, (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.)
They call him the Pop Along Kid. (Yeah, yeah.)
Got more moves that he can use. (That he can use.)
They call him the Pop Along Kid, yeah
His body twists and bends, directions never end
They named him after the pop, yeah
He has a backwards slide with such an easy stride
He's really something to watch
People ask him how he does it
There ain't no strings attached
Not everyone can do it, no
Watch him break every way. (Every which way.)
They call him the Pop Along Kid. (They call him Pop Along.)
When he bets shots, you'll know why (And you know why)
They call him the Pop Along Kid, yeah
See his body popping
You know why they call him the Pop Along Kid
Backslide with the smoothest ride
They call him the Pop Along Kid, yeah
Break
You'll see, watch his body break
You might not catch a second take
He works his body so precise, you'll have to see it twice
He's throwing down a popping set that everybody's gonna get
So if you wanna take a chance, let's try this popping dance
Break
