Lyrics
Found a sheet of bubble wrap in my coat Sunny morning, nothing left to dread Pop one, pop two, hear the little notes Rhythm in my fingers, rhythm in my head Everybody's waiting on the line Tapping toes in time Pop, pop, pop, pop, bubble wrap morning Pop, pop, pop, pop, never boring Little bursts of joy in the palm of my hand Pop, pop, pop, pop, now we're dancing Pop, pop, pop, pop, hearts are prancing Everybody's smiling at the bus stop band Lady with the shopping bag is clapping Little boy is stamping to the beat Driver at the corner starts to laughing Whole street swaying in the sunshine heat Everybody's waiting on the line Tapping toes in time Pop, pop, pop, pop, bubble wrap morning Pop, pop, pop, pop, never boring Little bursts of joy in the palm of my hand Pop, pop, pop, pop, now we're dancing Pop, pop, pop, pop, hearts are prancing Everybody's smiling at the bus stop band Share a square, share a square Pass it down and pass it there One for you and one for me Ten small pops of harmony Pop, pop, pop, pop, bubble wrap morning Pop, pop, pop, pop, never boring Little bursts of joy in the palm of my hand Pop, pop, pop, pop, now we're dancing Pop, pop, pop, pop, hearts are prancing Everybody's smiling at the bus stop band Pop, pop, pop, pop Bus stop band, bus stop band Pop, pop, pop, pop Smiling in the sun
