Lyrics
Opus One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh! baby, I'm rackin' my brain, to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Perry can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing
The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that's the main thing, to make it complete
'Cause everyone's swingin' today
So we call it Opus One, it's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey
Opus One, it's got to swing, not sway, baby
If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned
And Ray Anthony could rock it for me
There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
Whenever you get near Opus One
