INFORMATION: Be-Bop-A-Lula was choreographed and published as a Four 
Wall Line dance and was originally released in support of Scooter 
Lee's first album. A chat with Max Perry at the Imperial Palace, 
Bilston (UK) in May 1997 revealed that Denny's first draft of 
Be-bop-a-lula was actually a Two Wall Contra Line Dance! I am thus 
deeply indebted both to Max, for apprising me of this fact, and most 
especially to Denny Hengen for providing me with "the only copy of the 
contra version of Be-bop-a-Lula" [D.Hengen 19/05/97]. I hope this step 
sheet will bring you and your students as much enjoyment as it has 
brought me.
