Young Tiger - Calypso Be (1953)

This modern music's got me confused,
To tell you friends I'm quite unenthused.
This modern music's got me confused,
To tell you friends I'm quite unenthused.

I like Pee Wee Hunt or the great Count Basie
But can’t make head nor tail of this Dizzy Gillespie

With his
Oop-pop-a-da
Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee
Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie
Chum-cheeree-a-bah
Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah!

Dizzy Gillespie is the creator
Of this new style along in co with Charlie Parker,
Coleman Hawkins, Howard McGhee -
They all indulge in this monstrosity

They take a major seventh and a flated ninth
Two ool-ya-koos and a half a pint

Then
Oop-pop-a-da
Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee
Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie
Chum-cheeree-a-bah
Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah!

The beboppers you see around
They all converse in a special tongue
"Ool-ya-koo" and "eel-ya-da"
One means "hello", the other "ta ta".

They call a man "a cat" and a girl "a chick",
And they're up to all kinds of shady tricks

With their
Oop-pop-a-da
Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee
Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie
Chum-cheeree-a-bah
Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah!

In conclusion I must now say
The bebop boys they know how to play
But that music is not for me
So take it back Mr. Gillespie

You better take it back to 52nd Street
With your high speed riffs and stacatto beats

And your
Oop-pop-a-da
Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee
Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie
Chum-cheeree-a-bah
Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah!
Ah-ah!
