I Beeped When I Should Have Bopped
Louis Prima

Beep-beep-beep-beepy-beep-beep-bee-bee
Slow down, honey. Be cool.
It looks like you'll never learn how to bop.
You're nothing but a square!
All you do is beep-beep-beep.
You're a bring-down and I'm cutting out. Goodbye!
There she goes!

My life was all sunshine and roses

With the gal, I was right at the top
Well, we get along swell till she suddenly fell for
The music that's known as bop
Oh, I tried to be so hep for her sake
Till one day I made my fatal mistake

I beeped when I should have bopped
Lapped when I should have lopped
I was walking on air till she called me a square
'Cause I beeped when I should have bopped
I dipped when I should have flipped
I tripped when I should have hipped
My romancing was fine till I got out of line
'Cause I beeped when I should have bopped

Oh-ya-coo, coo-ya-oo, oo-ba-doo, shmoo-ba-poo
It all sounds the same to me
Bla-de-da, da-de-bla, diddly-da, schmiddly-pa
Is it something that's served with tea?
Hiccups!

I beeped when I should have bopped
I heaped when I should have hopped
I was giving my all to my bum of the ball
And now I'm blowing my top
'Cause I beeped when I should have bopped

Oh-ya-coo, coo-ya-oo, oo-ba-doo, schmoo-ba-poo
It all sounds the same to me
Bla-de-da, da-de-bla, diddly-da, schmiddly-pa
Is it something that's served with tea?

I beeped when I should have bopped
I heaped when I should have hopped
I was giving my all to the bum of the ball
And now I'm blowing my top
'Cause I beeped
Slow down man!
'Cause I leaped
Be cool Daddio!
'Cause I beeped
That's the end!
When I should have bopped
