(Johnny) Do you know what's groovy?
Have you seen the latest movie?
Should I try and tip ya?

(Jo) 
May I hip ya?
Yes, I know

(Johnny) 
Do you know what's playin'?
Have you heard what the folks are sayin'?
Should I try and sell ya?

(Jo) 
May I tell ya?
Yes, I know

(Johnny) 
I can see, baby
You're the kind of a chick who's sharp on top

(Jo) 
Yes, sirree, baby 
But why are we talkin' this shop?

(Johnny and Jo) 
Mop, mop!

(Johnny) 
You're a solid sender
And the band is some ear-bender
We could both jump steady

(Jo) 
Are you ready?
Yes, I know

Lookie here, boy!

(Johnny) 
Looka where?

(Jo) 
Look at that tenor man!

(Johnny) 
Yeah, ain't he a masher?
But look at that trombone man
I b'lieve he's about to flip his mute!

(Jo) 
Yeah, but ain't he cute?

(Johnny) 
Zoot, to boot!

(Jo) 
Well, what's your opinion of this band?

(Johnny)

(Jo)

You're the kind of a gent who's sharp on top

(Johnny) 
Yes, sirree, baby 
But why are we talkin' this shop?

(Johnny and Jo) 
Mop, mop!

(Jo) 
You're a solid sender
And the band is some ear-bender
We could both jump steady

(Johnny) 
Are you ready?

(Johnny and Jo) 
Yes, I know
Baby, yes I know
Baby, yes I know!

(Mop, mop!)
