Lyrics Bebop Headshop - Michael Franks

Every weekend while in college
I frequented a little club to listen to jazz
Near a beach that was called Hermosa
The name in cursive neon throbbed in blue
"Bebop Headshop" where the bebop players play
Nothing could compare with all the crazy things they'd say
Saxophonally

Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Down at the Bebop Headshop

Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop

This was back in the Nineteen Sixties
Everyone's lapels were narrow
Handsome Jack was the Prez

Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop

"The cat who coined the phrase," Someone asked, "who is he?"
The guy behind the bar said: "It's attributed to Dizzy"
What a time it was, why'd it ever have to end?
All those cats are gone and now the Bebop Headshop's closed
Now the Bebop Headshop's closed

Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
Bebop Headshop
