Lyrics

On top of Old Smokey It was quiet before But since they learned the Loco-motion It ain't quiet no more Well everybody you see there Has a smile on his face 'Cause since they learned the Loco-motion It's a real swingin' place Well every Friday night now They have a record hop And it ain't til Monday morning That the dancin' stop(s) (On top of Old Smokey) On top of Old Smokey (It was quiet before) He was quiet before (But since they learned the Loco-motion) But since they learned the Loco-motion (It ain't quiet no more) He ain't quiet no more (They threw away their fiddles) They threw away them fiddles (And their honkey guitars) And their honkey guitars (Now they even have fan clubs) Now they even have fan clubs (At all the record stores) At all the record stores (On top of Old Smokey) On top of Old Smokey baby (Was smokey before) Well do you hear what I say (And let me tell you Old Smokey) And let me tell you Old Smokey (Ain't honkey no more) It ain't a honkey no more (On top of Old Smokey) On top of Old Smokey (Was smokey before) Oh hear what I say (And let me tell you Old Smokey) And let me tell you Old Smokey (Ain't honkey no more) And that's a natural fact (On top of Old Smokey) On top of Old Smokey (Was honkey before) He was a honkey before (And let me tell you Old Smokey) Oh yeah baby (Ain't honkey no more) He ain't a honkey no more
