Reseña
La discografía de Chuck Berry continúa su era dorada con este álbum de 1960, un trabajo que lo muestra todavía en la cima de su poder creativo. 'Rockin' at the Hops', por lo tanto, sigue la exitosa fórmula de sus discos anteriores para el sello Chess, combinando nuevos sencillos con otras composiciones de alta calidad. De hecho, el título del álbum evoca las fiestas de baile de los institutos, el escenario principal de muchas de las historias que Chuck Berry narraba en sus canciones.
El disco, en consecuencia, contiene clásicos como "Let It Rock", un tema enérgico que sería versionado por infinidad de bandas, y la brillante "Bye Bye Johnny", que funciona como una secuela de su icónica "Johnny B. Goode". Además, el álbum incluye "Childhood Sweetheart", una canción que muestra su lado más melódico y romántico.
Por otro lado, Chuck Berry sigue demostrando su maestría como guitarrista, con solos incisivos y rítmicos que impulsan cada canción. Como resultado, aunque quizás no tiene la misma concentración de himnos que 'Chuck Berry Is on Top', este álbum es una colección de rock and roll de primer nivel, un testimonio de la increíble consistencia de un artista que parecía tener una fuente inagotable de inspiración.

- Bye Bye JohnnyVer letra 2:05
[X]letra de Bye Bye Johnny
She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son name 'o Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodby kiss
Going
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny
Good bye Johnny B. Goode
She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a' standin', a' wavin' by the kitchen door
Howling
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye Johnny

[X]letra de Too Pooped to Pop
Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen
He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha king
He cha-chaæ?¯ when the band is playin?rock and roll
He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold.
(Chorus):
Because heæ?¯ too pooped to pop, too old a soul
Hips gettin?weaker when he tries to do the stroll
And every time his feet get to go in one way
Here comes a new dance and itæ?¯ goin?to stray.
Chicks told Casey, æ?§ou better move man,
This is only a one night stand?br> Casey wasnæ?° in time but he was dancin?awhile
Till a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style.
2x Chorus
Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo
This might have been fine back in '22
Now, Iæ?¦ gonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you wanna keep your girl youæ?? better get hip
Or, youæ?£l be too pooped to pop, too old a soul
You hips are gettin?weaker when youæ?£l try to do the stroll
And every time your feet gettin?to go in one way
Here comes a new dance youæ?£l be left to stray.

[X]letra de Childhood Sweetheart
Last night, I had a beautiful dream
Last night, in the wee wee hours, oh yes
Had a beautiful dream
Ain't about my childhood sweetheart
How true and real it seemed
I had dreamt we was walkin' Hand in hand, home from school
Yeah, I dreamt we was walkin' together
Hand in hand, home from school
Yeah, if it hadn't be for you darling
I'd broke my mother's rule
Yeah, you was only sixteen
So young and yet so fine
Yeah, you was only sixteen
So young, yet so fine
You said when you'd finish school
You'd let me take and make you mine
Oh yeah
Yeah, you had those same pretty eyes
Same sweet little smile
You had those same pretty eyes
Same sweet little smile
I had dreamt about the sweet things
We used to do, when you was a child
You were my childhood sweetheart
Love you now, and loved you then
You were my childhood sweetheart
I love you now and I loved you then
And when I'll leave you down the twilight
I'll go to sleep and dream againComposición: Chuck Berry - Broken Arrow 2:25

Composición: Charles Brown, Eddie Williams, Johnny Moore's Three Blazers - Let It RockVer letra 2:28
[X]letra de Let It Rock
In the heat of the day down in Mobile Alabama
Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer
Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes
Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues
"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun
Payday's coming and my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow
Sitting in a tee pee built right on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about
We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles about
Everybody's scrambling, running around
Picking up their money, tearing the tee pee down
Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll onComposición: Chuck Berry
