Phrases make songs you'll all agree
In opera, swing and symphony
Some are sweet and some are sad
But here's a new phrase that'll drive you mad
It's not whoa-hodey-ho
It's not hi-hi-de-hi
It's not la-la-de-da
But it's oooh-oh-boom!
It's not vo-do-de-oh
It's not hey-hey-hey-de-hey
It's not va-za-zi-zazz
But it's oooh-oh-boom!
The music goes round the merry go round
The broken record and knock knock
They've all hit the bottom bit
Here's a brand new tune and it goes like this
It's not whoa-hodey-ho
It's not hi-hi-de-hi
It's not la-la-de-da
But it's oooh-oh-boom!
Take it Benny (alright)
Phrases make songs you'll all agree
In opera, swing and symphony
We've got cats that make their own
Just listen here while they all get goin'
First Mr Stacy
Jess is gonna play somethin' racy
First the treble and then the basey, bang it
Now here's Gordon Griffin
Gordon's gonna do some riffin'
He's gonna play somethin' different I hope
You've heard the song about Mr White
I think his first name was Bob
He had to change his bendin' spell
'cos he was strictly on the cob
Now Mr Vernon Brown, Brownie to you
Brownie's gonna truck on dog
Come on toot ???
Reprise
Mr Babe Russin
Babe, get your horn and start to blow
Play it fast and play it slow
Alright
Harry James, stand up there
Come on get off that there chair
Put that horn up in the air, give up
Oh it don't mean a thing
When you cats start to sing
But you have to get that swing
And it's oooh-oh-boom!
