This is Pop

In a milk bar and feeling lost
Drinking sodas as cold as frost
Someone leans in, in my direction
Quizzing on my jukebox selection

Well, what do you call that noise
That you put on?

This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is…

On a walkway and moving fast
All I hear is transistor-blast
Someone leans in, in my direction
Quizzing on my jukebox selection

What do you call that noise
That you put on?

This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is…

Hey!
We come the long way (Hey!)
We come the wrong way (Hey!)
We play the songs much too loud

This is, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is, yeah, yeah

This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is, yeah, yeah

This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is pop, yeah, yeah
This is…

Pop
