WORDS BY JOHN GALLAGHER
MUSIC BY JON POHLMANN
Slip off all those working clothes
that say you’re what you do.
Strip off every stitch that makes
the you that’s you so you.
Slip into a better time,
yeah, garter belt and all!
Now’s the time to retro you
into a swinging doll!
Swing it, hep-cat daddy.
Twirl it, hep-hop doll.
Find yourself a new self
that’s barely barely you at all.
Swing it, hep-cat daddy.
Twirl it, hep-hop doll.
Find yourself a new groove
and you can have a swinging ball.
Polish up them two-tone shoes
and press that gaberdine.
It’s your time to bop out to…
out to the hep hop scene.
Slip into your zoot suit, bub.
Unfreeloosen up your shake.
Swipe your gramps’ fedora,
and make a swinging break.
Swing it, hep-cat daddy..
Swing it, hep-cat dude.
Find yourself a new self
with a swinging, swinging attitude.
Swing it, hep-cat daddy..
Twirl it, hep-hop doll.
Find yourself a new groove
and you can have a swinging ball.
Twirl your eight foot watch chain,
Twitch your finger in the air.
Let it go. Yo, let it show
you are so debonaire.
Give a flying lesson as you sail above the floor.
Let ‘em peep yo pretty panties, doll.
Ain’t that what you bought ‘em for?
Swing it, hep-cat daddy.
Twirl it, hep-hop doll.
Find yourself a new groove
and you can have a swinging ball.
Toss her! Turn her! Fling her! Swing her!
Flip her! Dip her! Sky her! Higher!
Higher! Higher! Higher! Higher!
Everybody’s scopin’ you.
You’re the hottest at the hop.
Spin and grin, and grin and spin.
Oh yeah, don’t ever stop.
Pretzel, dip, and jump and jive.
Swivelate your derriere!
Let it go. Yo, let it show
you're a real-live Fred Astaire
Swing it, hep-cat daddy.
Twirl it, hep-cat doll.
Find yourself a new self
that’s barely barely you at all.
Swing it, hep-cat daddy.
Twirl it, hep-hop doll.
Find yourself a new groove
and you can have a swinging ball.
Toss her! Turn her! Fling her! Swing her!
Flip her! Dip her! Sky her! Higher!
Higher! Higher! Higher! Higher!
