Shipoopi Composer(s): Meredith Willson Performer(s): Jimmy Giuffre and multiple other artists
Well, a woman who'll kiss on the very first date Is usually a hussy And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out Is anything but fussy But a woman who'll wait till the third time around Head in the clouds, feet on the ground She's the girl he's glad he's found She's his Shipoopi
Shipoopi! Shipoopi, Shipoopi The girl who's hard to get! Shipoopi. Shipoopi, Shipoopi But you can win her yet.
Walk her once just to raise the curtain Then you walk around twice and make for certain Once more in the flower garden She will never get sore if you beg her pardon
Do re me fa so la si Do si la sol fa mi re do
Squeeze her once, when she isn't lookin' If you get a squeeze back that's fancy cookin' Once more for a pepper-upper She will never get sore on her way to supper
Do re me fa sol la si Do si do
Now little ol' Sal was a no-gal As anyone could see Lookit her now, she's a go-gal Who only goes for me
Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin' If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin' Once more for a pepper-upper She will never get sore on her way to supper
Do re me fa sol la si Do si do
Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi The girl who's hard to get Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi But you can win her yet
