The Scat Song Lyrics

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! [Scat chorus] Another version ---------------------- [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] [Followed by incredible scat-singing!]
