Honeydripper - Cab Calloway

Boy, the honeydripper

He’s a killer, the honeydripper

Salt, sweet, hot, reet

A solid old cat

Really, a mellow hep cat

And he jumps

And he sways

And he rips

And he rides

And he ships

And jumps

He’s high

Oh my

To dig that cat

And jump for joy

You dig that lick

You dig that beat

You get knocked out

Right off your feet

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, oh rip it

You take it away

He’s a killer

Honey driller

Boy, joy, joy, hoy, boy, hoy, joy

He’s a dipper

The honeydripper

Boy, hoy, joy, hoy, boy, hoy, hoy, joy

A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up

A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up

A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up

A-swing it up, bring it up, bring it on up, boy!

Boy, the honeydripper

He’s a killer, the honeydripper

He’s salt, sweet, hot, reet

A solid old cat

He’s really, a mellow hep cat
