Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers He Beeped When He Should Have Bopped

There was a guy who had some brand new tricks
Played his horn whit some crazy "licks".
The thing that made him such a flop,
Was He beeped when he shoulda bopped.

This cat would get up right up on the
Stand, but he couldn't seem to dig the band.
Though he was the cream of the crop,
But he beped when he shoulda boped.

All the cats would gather around to see what he was tryin' to prove.
But everyone could plainly see that
He was draggin' them outa the groove.

At last the leader turned around
And said: Listen Pops!, you better stop.
Oh there you go, you did it again!
You just beeped when you shoulda bopped.
