Lyrics
I don’t like the “Bop”, it’s one big flop
The stuff always leaves me cold
Let’s bring back again the good old days
The days when the Jazz was bold
Refrain:
They used to rag up the jazz on pianos
Let’s do it again
They used to sing “Yes we have no bananas”
Let’s do it again
They had a Charleston beat to lift their feet
In nineteen-twenty four
And Dapper Dan, the drummer man
Would try to knock his cymbal on the floor
Sure! they used to Do Wack-a do wack-a do wa
Let’s do it again
They used to Vo-do-de-o, Vo-de-o-do
Let’s do it again
And even Sister Kate would shimmy shake
And wobble like a jelly on a plate
They used to get such a kick out of livin’
Let’s do it again
