lyrics

dixie bop by t. dean music mint bmi

wild boys from way down south
playin’ that dixieland
spider and sammy and herman
lord, they had themselves a band

sammy played the trumpet
herman wailed on clarinet
spider swung that rhythm
ain’t heard none better yet

they didn’t play in no sweet band
they liked the music hot
dixieland with a twist
and they called it dixie bop

there was a new song in the city
dizzy and bird changed everything
the story they told was big and bold
and these crackers heard ‘em sing
so the old time gist took a brand new twist
when the peckerwoods layed it down
bop and jazz and dixieland
what a crazy sound

they took the old tradition
changed it up from toe to top
it wasn’t just old dixieland
it was more like dixie bop

back home, the folks got offended,
“this ain’t the place for that dixie slop!
you boys better play what we pay you to play,
or the music’s gonna have to stop.”
so they were stuck between a rock and a hard place
the squares were gonna make ‘em choose
they could suck it up for a gig and a buck
or wail come win or lose

well, if you got a new song worth singin’
it’s like chokin’ if you make it stop
so they messed up that dixieland
and they called it dixie bop
