Calypso Be (Remastered)

This modern music's got me confused, To tell you friends I'm quite unenthused. This modern music's got me confused, To tell you friends I'm quite unenthused. I like Pee Wee Hunt or the great Count Basie But can't make head nor tail of this Dizzy Gillespie With his Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! Dizzy Gillespie is the creator Of this new style along in co with Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Howard McGhee - They all indulge in this monstrosity They take a major seventh and a flated ninth Two ool-ya-koos and a half a pint Then Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! The beboppers you see around They all converse in a special tongue "Ool-ya-koo" and "eel-ya-da" One means "hello", the other "ta ta". They call a man "a cat" and a girl "a chick", And they're up to all kinds of shady tricks With their Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! In conclusion I must now say The bebop boys they know how to play But that music is not for me So take it back Mr. Gillespie You better take it back to 52nd Street With your high speed riffs and stacatto beats And your Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! Ah-ah!
