Lyrics and translation Cab Calloway - The Scat Song
When
your
sweetie
tells
you,
everything'll
be
okay,
Quand
ma
chérie
me
dit
que
tout
ira
bien,
Just
skeep-beep
de
bop-bop
beep
bop
bo-dope
skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!
Je
fais
juste
skeep-beep
de
bop-bop
beep
bop
bo-dope
skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!
If
you
feel
like
shoutin',
advertise
it
just
this
way:
Si
tu
as
envie
de
crier,
fais-le
comme
ça
:
And
skeep-beep
de
bop-bop
beep
bop
bo-dope
skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!
Et
skeep-beep
de
bop-bop
beep
bop
bo-dope
skeetle-at-de-op-de-day!
Don't
give
a
hang
what
words
you
use
at
any
time,
Ne
t'inquiète
pas
des
mots
que
tu
utilises,
jamais,
Sing
this
silly
language,
without
any
reason
or
rhyme.
Chante
ce
langage
idiot,
sans
raison
ni
rime.
When
you
face
the
preacher,
there's
only
one
thing
to
say:
Quand
tu
es
face
au
prêtre,
il
n'y
a
qu'une
chose
à
dire
:
Just
skeep-beep
de
bop-bop
beep
bop
bo-dope
skeetle-at-de-op-day!
Juste
skeep-beep
de
bop-bop
beep
bop
bo-dope
skeetle-at-de-op-day!
