Well now my babies always singin' That chop chop boom Man I can't stand it Gonna leave here soon
That confounded noise I can't take it no more Gonna get my hat And hit the door
Chop chop boom Chop chop boom
I had a talk with my baby Just to try and find out Just what that chopping noise was all about
My baby wouldn't tell me But this she said You know it always reminds me Of an aching head
Chop chop boom Chop chop boom
Well when we go walking Like two folks should Just about the time that I'm feeling good She meets a friend she calls a Daisy Mae They'll get together and you'll hear them say
Chop chop boom Chop chop boom Chop chop boom It's so sad on her on her mind all the time
Chop chop boom I didn't know the lady would take my place But that was until she met a cat named Ace Still I didn't know she was doing me wrong Till they started humming that song
Chop chop boom Chop chop boom
Well my baby's gone and left me and I think I know why I'll bet that cat Ace done told her a lie Now their going on humming that tune And I'm left here with that chop chop boom
