Bebopper

C F7 C B7


[Verse 1]
A#7       C        F7
He’s got his beret on
     D7                         G7
His glasses are trimmed in gold
C7             G7
He’s got a bowtie and it’s crazy
       C7       F7
He’s a Bebopper to his soul


[Verse 2]
           A# G7        F7
I’m told, he knows the latest riffs
    D7                         G7
No matter the hour he’s called
C7                      D7
He spends all his time down at 
Birdland
       C7       F7         A#
He’s a Bebopper to his soul


[Chorus]
              F7             G7
When he’s got eyes, he satisfied
         D#7               
“Charlie Parker’s The Bird, 
           G7
bellsman!”

So he’s misunderstood
         F7
Poor guy!
A#          C7        F7
So when he comes your way
    D7                    G7
Remember what you’ve been told

C7                             
He’ll hold out his hand and say, 
    G7
“Baby!”

He’s a Bebopper to his soul
