Oh, baby, I'm a-rackin' my brain, to think of a name To give to this tune, so Perry can croon And maybe old Bing will give it a fling And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat But if you can swing, it's got a good beat And that's the main thing, to make it complete 'Cause everyone's swingin' today So we call it 'Opus One' It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey It's 'Opus One' It's got to swing, not sway, baby If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned And Ray Anthony could rock it for me There's never a doubt, you'll knock yourself out Whenever you get near 'Opus One' I'm rackin' my brain to think of a name To give to this tune, so Perry can croon And maybe old Bing will give it a fling And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing The melody's dumb, repeat and repeat But if you can swing, it's got a good beat And that's the main thing, to make it complete 'Cause everyone's swingin' today So we call it 'Opus One' It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey It's 'Opus One' It's got to swing, not sway, baby If Mr. Les Brown can make it renowned And Ray Anthony could rock it for me No doubt out, it's 'Opus One'
