Some Like It Hot (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Zee Bap
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!
Doll-face, I don't care wh—
Listen up!
When a bully like you gets bossy
And starts a-screechin' like an alley cat
Then Mr. Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
Is the phrase to make that cat go scat!
And when a bloviator pays opinions
And doesn't pay a lady what she's owed
Then Mr. Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
Is the code to make him hit the road!
Webster's dictionary teaches language so clean
But Mr. Webster doesn't have the words that we mean
The music hath the charms to soothe the savage breast
Even when Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly is what we'd express!
So when an argument is at its Z, man
And you wanna curse and say "you dirty rat"
Then Mr. Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
Is the classy way to make them scat!
Okay, here's your two-hundred
You dames are crazy, I'm outta here!
When a knuckle-head gets too handsy
And tries to wrestle me to the floor
I tell him Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
As I kick him right through the door!
And when a caveman like him says "Dollface"
"It's time to settle down and be my wife"
Then, ladies, Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
Well, tell him not on your sweet life, ooh!
Neither was a lad, neither Christian nor Jew
It's all he has to know that we can all bonnez-vous
And when we band together, girls
I'm certain you'll find
We're a family that's simplistic
And we intertwine!
So when some joker starts explaining what you already knew
We'll tell him, "Loopy-doopy, silly-ah-mah-hee, hilly-ah-dah-hee-blue!"
Or if he's stinking of perfume when he crawls in after dawn
We'll tell him, "Doodly-doodly-doodly-doodly, doo-it and get gone!"
Is there a phrase that you can toss (Ooh-ooh, ya-doo-bee-wah!)
To show a bully who is boss? (Ee-bee-dee-be-dah-doo-wah)
Say Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
To any slippery snake who's tryna make you less than you am!
Yeah, so glad we found each other
We'll keep on swinging 'til the metal is gone
While singing Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-bam-bam
So listen, ladies, we have got to stick together
'Til the battle is won!
Zee-Bap, Zee-Booly, a-da-fee-doo-wah!
He was twice your size and packing heat
Yet here I stand
I got a magic phrase that shuts up jerks like you!
Doll-face, I don't care wh—
