SING SONG SWING
Cook / Garrett

as rec by Ella fitzgerald w Chick Webb & his Orch  1940


Choppity chop chop, chop chop sticks,
Choppity chop chop, chop till six.
Choppity chop chop, chop's the thing,
When Charlie Ching he make his sing song swing.

Charlie Ching he make his sing song swing
With a tingaling on a ding dong ding.
With a tingaling on the ding dong ding
Makey plenty sing song swing.

Choppity chop chop, chop chop sticks,
Choppity chop chop, chop till six.
Choppity chop chop, chop's the thing,
When Charlie Ching he make his sing song swing.

Too Yung Foo makey doodle doo,
With a toot or two on the flute bamboo.
And the doodle doo and the tingaling
Makey plenty sing song swing.

Choppity chop chop, chop chop sticks,
Choppity chop chop, chop till six.
Choppity chop chop, chop's the thing,
When Charlie Ching he make his sing song swing.

(scat)
Have a tingaling on the ding dong ding,
Makey plenty sing song swing.

Choppity chop chop, chop chop sticks,
Choppity chop chop, chop till six.
Choppity chop chop, chop's the thing,
When Charlie Ching he make his sing song swing.

Choppity chop chop, chop chop sticks,
Choppity chop chop, chop till six.
Choppity chop chop, chop's the thing,
When Charlie Ching he makey swing.
