Zoot Suit Riot Lyrics

Artist: Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Album: Zoot Suit Riot

Who's that whisperin' in the trees?
It's two sailors and they're on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin' hands
Who's your daddy? Yes I am

Fat cat came to play
Now he can't run fast enough
You'd best stay away
When the pushers come to shove

Zoot suit riot

throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot

Pull a comb through your coal black hair

Zoot suit riot

throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot

Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Blow Daddy!

A whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man
A stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band
Cut me Sammy and you'll understand
In my veins hot music ran

You got me in a sway
and I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love

Zoot suit riot

Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot

Pull a comb through your coal black hair

You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot

(random gibberish)

Oh you got me in a sway
and I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love

Zoot suit riot

Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot

Pull a comb through your coal black hair

Zoot suit riot

Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot

Pull a comb through your coal black hair

You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot

the random gibberish part is as follows:
zoo zoot ziow
zoo zoot za zoo zeh
bleh abba yeeda
aeh aeh aeh
zoo zoot zi-i-i-ow
zoo zoot za zoo zeh
zeh zoo zeh zeh zoo
day day day

Well said on the gibberish. Although I must argue that it goes:
zoo za zaa
zoo za zoo zay
play yabba zeda
ay ay ay
zoo za zoo z-z-i-o
zay za zezay you
zay zay zay

this random gibberish is called scat its just abunch of random sounds and words to go along with the tune when either they forget wat to say or just cuz it sound really good
