The Dovells - Bristol Stomp Lyrics




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

Whoa-oh, the stars are spinning every Friday ni-i-ight
They dance the greatest and they do it right
Well, here's the latest, it's the greatest sight to see

The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol (whoa-oh, oh)
When they do the Bristol Stomp (whoa-oh, oh)
Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin' (ah-ah-ah, whoa)
When they do the Bristol Stomp

Whoa, whoa, it started in Bristol at a DJ ho-op
They hollered and whistled, never wanted to stop
We Pony and Twisted and we rocked with Daddy G

The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol
When they do the Bristol Stomp (whoa-oh, oh)
Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin' (ah-ah-ah)
When they do the Bristol Stomp (do-do)

It's got that groovy beat
That makes you stomp your feet (do-do)
Come (do-do) and try (do-do)
Gonna feel fine
And once you dance with me
You'll fall in love you see
The Bristol Stomp will make you mine, all mine (do-do-do)

The stars are spinning every Friday night
They dance the greatest if they do it right
But it's the latest, it's the greatest sight to see

The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol
When they do the Bristol Stomp (whoa-oh, oh)
Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin' (come with me, ahh)
When they do the Bristol Stomp (whoa-oh, oh)

It started in Bristol at a DJ hop
They hollered and whistled, never wanted to stop
We Ponied and Twisted and we rocked with Daddy G

The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol
When they do the Bristol Stomp (whoa, yeah)
Really somethin' when the joint is jumpin' (ah-hah)
When they do the Bristol Stomp (Bristol Sto-omp)
The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol (oh oh oh)
When they do the Bristol Stomp (yeah it's fine)
The kids in Bristol are sharp as a pistol

The Dovells - Bristol Stomp Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Bristol Stomp" is a song written in 1961 by Kal Mann and Dave Appell, two executives with the Cameo-Parkway record label, for The Dovells, a doo-wop singing group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who recorded it for Cameo-Parkway late that year. Appell also produced and arranged the track and his Cameo-Parkway's house band served as the studio musicians.

The song was written about teenagers in 1961 who were dancing a new step called "The Stomp" at Good Will Hose Company dances in Bristol, Pennsylvania, a blue-collar suburb of Philadelphia. Before the Dovells' song, kids were dancing the Bristol Stomp to the song "Every Day of the Week" by The Students. The Dovells used the basic feel of that tune and put a three-beat emphasis on the syllables in the title: "Bristol Stomp".

This song makes reference to the "Pony" and the "Twist".
