The Scat Song — Cab Calloway
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!
