Opus #1 Songtext
von Anita O’Day

They′re rackin' their brain to think of a name
To give to this tune, so Frankie can croon
And maybe old Bing will give it a fling
And that will start everyone a-hummin′ the thing


The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat
And that′s the main thing to make with the feet
′Cause rockin' rhythm through the day

So they call it opus one
Come on, lads, on and jump, hey, hey, hey
It′s opus one
This ain't no time to slump, maybe

If Benny the king would do it in swing
And old Mister G could rock it for me
There′s never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out
If ever you should hear opus one
