A (C)hot cor (C#dim)net can go (G7)“wah wah wah,”

But a (G7)hot cor (C#dim)net can’t (G7)“boop boop a (C#dim)doop” like (G7)Bet ty (G7)Boop can (C)do.

A sax o phone can go (G7)“too dle oo,”

(C)play ing all night (D7)through.

But a (G7)sax o (C#dim)phone can’t (G7)“boop boop a (C#dim)doop” like (G7)Bet ty (G7)Boop can (C)do.

This (C7)lit tle miss would nev er miss a (C7)chance for vo cal (F)tun ing.

And (D7)an y time and an y where you can (D7)hear this la dy (G7)croon (C#dim)ing.

(G7)A (C)ket tle (C#dim)drum can go (G7)“boom boom boom,”

(C)that’s no news to (D7)you.

But a (G7)ket tle (C#dim)drum can’t (G7)“boop boop a (C#dim)doop” like (G7)Bet ty (G7)Boop can (C)do.

(G7)A (C)cas ta (C#dim)net can go (G7)“click click click,”

But a (G7)cas ta (C#dim)net can’t (G7)“boop boop a (C#dim)doop” like (G7)Bet ty (G7)Boop can (C)do.

An old ban jo can go (G7)“plunk plunk plunk,”

But an (G7)old ban (C#dim)jo can’t (G7)“boop boop a (C#dim)doop” like (G7)Bet ty (G7)Boop can (C)do.

This (C7)la dy fair has coal black hair and (C7)lips that are be (F)com ing.

But a (G7)sil ver (C#dim)flute can’t (G7)“boop boop a (C#dim)doop” like (G7)Bet ty (G7)Boop can (C)do.

(G7)A (C)do.
