The Honeydripper Songtext
von Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

Boy
The honeydripper
He′s a killer
The honeydripper
Salt · sweet · heart · beat
A solid old cat
Really
A mellow hepcat

And he jumps
And he swears
And he rips
And he rides
Then he shifts
And jumps
He's high
Oh my
To · be · that · cat · and · jump · for · joy


You dig that lick
You dig that beat
You get knocked out
Right off your feet
One, two, three, four, five, six, so rip it
You take it away

He′s a killer
The honeydriller
Boy · joy · joy · hoy · boy · hoy · joy

He's a dipper
The honeydripper
Boy · hoy · joy · hoy · boy · hoy · hoy · joy

A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up
A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up
A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up
A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up, boy

Hey!

Yeah-yeah hey!

Hey-hey!

Hey-hey!


Boy
The honeydripper
A-he's a killer
The honeydripper
He′s salt · sweet · heart · beat
A solid old cat
He′s reallyyyy a mellow hepcat
