I walked into a record shop They were playing number one People rockin' up the place And havin' so much fun I heard this fellow talkin' I heard this fellow say Well, them cats are cool And they're twice as gone And they're a-rockin' all the way Ain't that a dilly, ain't that a bird Ain't that the coolest thing that you ever heard
Well, I love my baby I'd climb the highest tree I'd swim the widest ocean If she'd just dance with me So I called my baby on the phone But she can't go tonight She's got the mumps and the measles too And she don't feel just right Ain't that a dilly, ain't that a bird Ain't that the coolest thing that you ever heard
Well, she's got me feelin' weary She's a-got me feelin' blue I think I'll write a song for her And I'll record it too I think I'll call it Chopin, Beethoven No. 2 Then I'll put it to a rockin' beat And do it all for you Ain't that a dilly, ain't that a bird Ain't that the coolest thing that you ever heard
