Chop chop boom Chop chop boom Well now my baby's always singin' that chop chop boom Good lord I can't stand it, gonna leave here soon The confounded noise, I can't take it no more Gonna get my hat lord 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 choppin' noise was all about My baby couldn't tell me but this she said You know it always reminds me of a busted head
Chop chop boom Chop chop boom Well when we go walkin' like two folks should Just about the time that I'm feelin good She meets a friend she calls a Bessie Mae They'll get together and you'll hear them say
Musical interlude
Chop chop boom I didn't know someone was takin' my place But that was until she met a cat named Ace Still I didn't know she was doin' me wrong 'Til they started hummin' 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 they're goin on hummin' that tune And I'm left sad with that chop chop boom
Chop chop boom Chop chop boom Chop chop boom Chop Chop
