Lyrics:

What is the musical topic, of the day?
Bebop so the critics say, well that was OK!
Who were the originators, do you know?
Yardbird and Dizzy tell me, I think its quite so

Now Im just holding thumbs like, Toscaninni and La Cost
Well, as long as Im hip to it, I think Im hipper to the how,
Explain it to the folks

Bebop my friends was just a whole lotta fun!
You could take any old riff, and make a real long run.
