He Beeped When He Should Have a Bopped

Dizzy Gillespie e Sua Orquestra


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 aprove.
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.

Havia um cara que tinha alguns truques novos
Tocou seu trompete com alguns "fraseados malucos"
A única coisa que o tornou um fracasso,
Ele estava apitando no lugar errado
Esse guri se levantou e ficou de pé
Mas ele não parecia gostar da banda.
Embora ele fosse a nata do creme.
Mas ele apitou ao invés de tocar "Bop"
Todos os garotos se reuniam para ver o que ele estava tentando aprontar.
Mas todos podiam ver claramente que
Ele estava arrastando-os para tocar "fora da caixa".
Por fim, o líder se virou
E disse: Escuta todos!, é melhor vocês pararem.
Ah, aí está, você fez de novo!
Você justamente fez bip, ao invés de Bop.
