| Listen, folks, throughout the land
|
| When you hear this kind of band
|
| We don’t think that they’re so grand
|
| 'Cause this is the wrong idea
|
| The kind of band on which we frown
|
| Is this kind 'cause they bring you down
|
| They think they’re hot 'cause they go to town
|
| This is the wrong idea
|
| Don’t plat it good, just play it cute
|
| And make it rootie-tootie toot-toot
|
| Doesn’t do any good to get hep
|
| So swing and sweat with Charlie Barnet
|
| Many ideas will come and go
|
| But this is one thing you ought to know
|
| That this kinda stuff is gonna go
|
| This is the wrong idea |
