My Baby Likes To Be-Bop (12-20-47)

My Baby Likes to Be-Bop - Ella Fitzgerald

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 "
