| I heard you call for an all star band
|
| It’s something new for the music stand
|
| It’s on the way, but before we start
|
| A cuttin' capers around your heart
|
| You’re gonna cheer when you hear this band
|
| There’s never been a better crew
|
| And when you hear the drummer
|
| Lawdy, how the joint’ll hum
|
| A cuttin' capers just for you
|
| You’ll never pick about or pick a quarr’l
|
| With Mister Krupa or with Frankie Carle
|
| You’ll never dig a list of bigger names
|
| A cuttin' capers with Harry James
|
| With Benny Goodman and his clarinet
|
| And Tommy Dorsey’s in it, too
|
| Alvino Rey will star
|
| A walkin' talkin' steel guitar
|
| A cuttin' capers just for you
|
| Listen to that tenor saxophone
|
| Never heard it played with such a tone
|
| And when you get that lic’rish stick
|
| Out in the woodshed, son
|
| Why it’s Papa Benny Goodman
|
| And he’s showin' ya quick
|
| How the proper lic’rish stickin’s done
|
| (Too root, dah roo, ta, doo doo)
|
| Listen to that fiddle player slap, slap, slap
|
| Boy, he plays it, he really lays it, in your lap, lap, lap
|
| Say, I’ll bet before they’re through
|
| You’ll be cuttin' capers, too
|
| (Doo doo, doo doo, roo doo)
|
| (Do rah do)
|
| Cuttin' capers 'cause I’m out with you
|
| Nothin' else that I’m about to do
|
| My heart begins to flutter like a dove
|
| I even stutter
|
| (Guess, it’s love)
|
| I’m cuttin' capers so you’ll notice me
|
| When we’re together, can’t you see
|
| I’m only blowin' off
|
| A talkin' big, a showin' off
|
| A cuttin capers 'cause it’s true
|
| Dee dah, dee dah, ooh, ooh, ooh
|
| Baby, I’m in love
|
| (Baby, I’m in love)
|
| Baby, I’m in love with
|
| (Baby, I’m in love with)
|
| Baby, I’m in love with you |
