"My Baby Likes To Bebop (And I Like To Bebop Too)" lyrics - ELLA FITZGERALD

ELLA FITZGERALD
"My Baby Likes To Bebop (And I Like To Bebop Too)"

I was bopped on the head
Now I'm tall as a treetop
And just to end like new
I find the melody's dead
'Cause my baby likes to be-bop
And I like to be-bop too

I was down on my heels
So I hopped to the shoe shop
"Shoe, fix up my boots like new
I gotta be on the job
'Cause my baby likes to be-bop
And I like to be-bop too"

The rhythm is off the beaten track, Jack

The squares keep tryin' just to beat it back

I saw old Uncle Ned
Do a dance and a flip-flop
He jumped like the hep cats do
I flipped my lid when he said
"My baby likes to be-bop
And I like to be-bop too"

How I love to be-bop too

How I love to be-bop too

I saw old Uncle Ned
Do a dance and a flip-flop
He jumped like the hep cats do
I flipped my lid when he said
"My baby likes to be-bop
And boy

And I like to be-bop too"
