Текст песни Canadian Capers (Cuttin' Capers) - from the film "My Dream Is Yours" - Doris Day

I heard you call for an all-star band,
It's something new for the music stand;
It's on the way, but before we start
A-cuttin' capers around your heart

You're gonna cheer when you hear this band,
There's never been a better crew;
And when you hear the drummer,
Lawdy, how the joint'll hum,
A-cuttin' capers just for you

You'll never kick about or pick a quarr'l
With Mister Krupa or with Frankie Carle;
You'll never dig a list of bigger names,
A-cuttin' capers with Harry James.

With Benny Goodman and his clarinet,
And Tommy Dorseys in it, too.
Alvino Rey will star,
A walkin' talkin' steel guitar,
A-cuttin' capers just for you.

Listen to that tenor saxophone!
Never heard it played with such a tone!
And when you get that lic'rish stick
Out in the woodshed, son.

Why it's Papa Benny Goodman
And he's showin' ya quick,
How the proper lic'rish stickin's done, Tood-da-root-toot, to-du
Listen to that fiddle player slap, slap, slap;
Boy, he plays it, he really lays it, in your lap, lap, lap

(Say,) I'll bet before they're through
You'll be cut-you-you-you-you-tin' capers, too.

Cuttin' capers 'cause I'm out with you,
Nothin' else that I'm about to do

My heart begins to flutter like a dove,
I even stutter, (guess it's love!)
I'm cuttin' capers so you'll notice me,
When we're together, can't you see
I'm only blowin' off, A-talkin' big and showin' off,
A-cuttin capers 'cause it's true, Ple-ee-oo-du-du-du-du-du

Baby, I'm in love, (Baby I'm in love)
Baby, I'm in love with, (Baby, I'm in love with,)
Baby, I'm in love with you!
