Well there's this dance, you ought to know
|
It's a little somethin' I made up cats
|
To keep your heads low
|
See there are lots of sore gangsters
|
Packin' iron all day
|
So you learn my two steps stay out of their way
|
|
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops now
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
|
|
Well there's flat-foot Louie
|
Sittin' on his front stoop
|
He caught five rounds in the belly
|
He looked like a messed-up bowl of minestrone soup
|
|
|
Now you take that cat Mugs
|
He got iced the other day
|
He could have saved his mama
|
The dry cleanin' bill my way
|
|
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
|
|
So now you can see
|
Zip gun bop was meant to be
|
Lots of lead flyin'
|
Lots of lonely gals cryin'
|
But you can hear them cats shootin'
|
They're shootin' rat-ta-tat-tat
|
So you learn my two step Jack
|
Or that's that
|
|
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
Hey hey
|
|
|
Zip gun, zip gun bop
|
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops
|
Oh yeah baby, that zip gun bop
|
