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!

[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]
