Some Like It Hot the Musical - Zee Bap Lyrics
The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
DAPHNE: (spoken)
Buster, the last time a man threatened us
He was twice your size and packing heat
Yet here I stand
I got a magic phrase that shuts up jerks like you!
BAR MANAGER: (spoken)
Dollface, I don’t care what you or
DAPHNE: (spoken)
Listen up!
(sung)
When a bully like you gets bossy
And starts a-screechin’ like an alley cat
Then Mister
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the phrase to make that cat go scat!
SWEET SUE:
And when a bloviator brays opinions
And doesn’t pay a lady what she’s owed
Then Mister
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the code to make him hit the road!
JOE (as Josephine):
Webstеr’s dictionary teaches language so clеan
JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE:
But Mr. Webster doesn’t have the words that we mean
JOE (as Josephine):
The music hath the charms to soothe the savage breast
JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE:
Even when "Zee Bap Zeh Bootaleya"
is what we’ve expressed!
DAPHNE:
So when an argument is at its Zenith
JOE (as Josephine):
And you wanna curse and say, "You dirty rat”
DAPHNE, JOE (as Josephine) & SWEET SUE:
Then Mister
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the classy way to make men...
ALL:
Scat!
BAR MANAGER: (spoken)
Okay, here’s your two hundred!
You dames are crazy, I’m outta here!
MINNIE:
When a knucklehead gets too handsy
And tries to wrestle me to the floor
I tell him
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
MINNIE:
As I kick him right through the door!
GINGER:
And when a caveman like him says “Dollface
It’s time to settle down and be my wife”
Then ladies
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
GINGER:
Will tell him, "Not on your sweet life!"
Ooh!
JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE:
Black or white or Latin, Asian, Christian or Jew
It’s awf'lly to know that we can all
ALL:
Parlez-vous
SWEET SUE:
And when we band together, girls
I’m certain you’ll find...
ALL:
We’re a fam'ly that’s linguistically intertwined
JOE (as Josephine):
So when some joker starts explaining
what'cha already knew
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
We’ll tell him: “Ooh-pee doo-bee,
Silly-ya ma-hee, hilly-ya die-ee blu!”
DAPHNE:
Or if he’s stinkin' of perfume
when he crawls in after dawn
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
We’ll tell him,
“Doodle-ee, doodle-ee, doodle-ee, doodle-ee
Doodle-ee, get gone!”
JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE:
Is there a phrase that you can toss?
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
Ooh ooh-dee, ooh dee-pop!
JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE:
To show a bully who is boss?
SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS:
Heebee jeebie, dot-en, bop!
ALL:
Say "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
To any slippery snake who’s tryin'
To make you less than you am!
Yes, I'm awf'lly glad we found each other
We’ll keep on swinging ‘til the battle is done
JOE (as Josephine), DAPHNE:
While singing
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
SWEET SUE:
Swing it til' the battle is done!
JOE (as Josephine), DAPHNE:
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
SWEET SUE:
Bah-duh, dah-duh, dah-duh, doy!
ALL:
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
JOE (as Josephine), DAPHNE & SWEET SUE:
So listen, ladies, we have got to stick together
ALL:
‘Til the battle is won!
JOE, DAPHNE & SWEET SUE:
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet"
ALL:
Doo-wah!
