cab calloway – the scat song lyrics
when your sweetie tells you, everything’ll be okay,
just skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!
if you feel like shoutin’, advertise it just this way:
and skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!
don’t give a hang what words you use at any time,
sing this silly language, without any reason or rhyme.
when you face the preacher, there’s only one thing to say:
just skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-day!
[scat chorus]

———————-
[starts with impressive scatting, then:]
spoken: [bennie payne?] say, what you doin’, boy? [cab] oh, man, i’m just scatting and going right on to town, satchmo!
when your sweetie tells you, everything’ll be okay,
just: [instrumental]
if you feel like shoutin’, advertise it just this way:
and [instrumental]
don’t give a hang what words you use at any time,
sing this silly language, without any reason or rhyme.
when you face the preacher, there’s only one thing to say:
just [instrumental]
[followed by incredible scat-singing!]
