Well there's this dance, you ought to know |
|
It's a little somethin' |
|
I made up cats |
|
To keep your heads low |
|
See there are lots of sore gangsters |
|
Packin' iron all day |
|
So you learn my two steps stay out of their way |
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop |
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops now |
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop |
|
Well there's flat-foot |
|
Louie Sittin' on his front stoop |
|
He caught five rounds in the belly |
|
He looked like a messed-up bowl of minestrone soup |
|
Now you take that cat |
|
Mugs He got iced the other day |
|
He could have saved his mama |
|
The dry cleanin' bill my way |
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop |
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops |
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop |
|
So now you can see |
|
Zip gun bop was meant to be |
|
Lots of lead flyin' |
|
Lots of lonely gals cryin' |
|
But you can hear them cats shootin' |
|
They're shootin' rat-ta-tat-tat |
|
So you learn my two step |
|
Jack Or that's that |
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop |
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops |
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop |
|
