Lyrics

They're rackin' their brain to think of a name
To give to this tune so Frankie can croon
And maybe ol' Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing
The melody's gone repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing to make with the feet
'Cause rockin' rhythm's ruling the day
So they call it Opus One
Come on, latch on and jump
Hey, hey, hey, it's Opus One
This ain't no time to slump
Maybe, if Benny the King could do it in swing
And ol' Mister G could rock it for me
It's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
If ever you should hear Opus One
Written by: Garris Sid, Sy Oliver
