Everybody's Boppin' (1960, The Hottest New Group in Jazz) Songtext
von Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

Some cat says that bop is dead,
But that cat done lost his head.
Tell that square he′s been mislead,
'Cause everybody′s boppin'.


Bop ain't dead, that′s a line o′ jive,
Dixieland bands done kept it alive.
Tell that square to take a dive,
'Cause everybody′s boppin'.

If you say bop is dead,
You′re just tellin' a lie,
′Cause listen what cats are blowin':
Oop-oop de-blee, Oop boop de-blah!

Blow your horn on a be-bop kick,
Make new sounds, don't miss a trick,
Bop′s alive and it′s gonna click
'Cause everybody′s boppin'.
