Opus One

Oh baby I'm a-rackin' my brain to think of a name

To give to this tune so Perry can croon

And maybe old Bing will give it a fling

And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing

The melody's dumb repeat and repeat

But if you can swing it's got a good beat

And that's the main thing to make it complete

'Cause everyone's swingin' today

So we call it 'Opus One'

It's not for Sammy Kaye hey hey hey

It's 'Opus One'

It's got to swing not sway baby

If Mr Les Brown can make it renowned

And Ray Anthony could rock it for me

There's never a doubt you'll knock yourself out

Whenever you get near 'Opus One'

I'm rackin' my brain to think of a name

To give to this tune so Perry can croon

And maybe old Bing will give it a fling

And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing

The melody's dumb repeat and repeat

But if you can swing it's got a good beat

And that's the main thing to make it complete

'Cause everyone's swingin' today

So we call it 'Opus One'

It's not for Sammy Kaye hey hey hey

It's 'Opus One'

It's got to swing not sway baby

If Mr Les Brown can make it renowned

And Ray Anthony could rock it for me

No doubt out it's 'Opus One'
