Some cat says that bop is dead,
But that cat done lost his head.
Tell that square he's been mislead,
'Cause everybody's boppin'.
Bop ain't dead, that's a line o' jive,
Dixieland bands done kept it alive.
Tell that square to take a dive,
'Cause everybody's boppin'.
If you say bop is dead,
You're just tellin' a lie,
'Cause listen what cats are blowin':
Oop-oop de-blee, Oop boop de-blah!
Blow your horn on a be-bop kick,
Make new sounds, don't miss a trick,
Bop's alive and it's gonna click
'Cause everybody's boppin'.
