Dirty Lyrics:

"She Bop"
The Dirty Lyrics:
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
I hope he will understand
She bop--he bop--a--we bop
I bop--you bop--a--they bop
Be bop--be bop--a--lu--she bop,
Oo--oo--she--do--she bop--she bop
Why They're Dirty:
It's no wonder this song is at the bottom of the Parent's Music Rresource Center's Filthy Fifteen. It's pretty obivous that this song is about masturbation. The chorus makes it that obvious.
