I heard you called for an all star band
It's somethin' new for the music stand
It's on the way, but before we start
A cuttin' capers around your heart
You're gonna cheer when you hear this band
There's never been a better crew
And when you hear the drummer, Lordy how the joint'll hum
A cuttin' capers just for you
You'll never pick about or pick a quarrel
With Mister Krupa or with Frankie Carle
You'll never dig or list a bigger name
A cuttin' capers with Harry James
With Benny Goodman and his clarinet
And Tommy Dorsey's in it too
Albino Ray will start a walkin' talkin' steel guitar
A cuttin' capers just for you
Listen to that tenor saxophone
Never heard it played with such a tone
And when you get that licorice stick
Out in the woodshed, son
Why, it's Poppa Benny Goodman and he's showin' you quick
How the proper licorice stickin's done
Listen to that fiddle player slap, slap, slap
Boy, he plays it, he really lays it
In your lap, lap, lap
Say, I'll bet before they're through
You'll be cuttin' capers too
Cuttin' capers 'cause I'm out with you
Nothin' else that I'm about to do
My heart begins to flutter like a dove
I even stutter, "Guess it's love"
I'm cuttin' capers so you'll notice me
When we're together, can't you see
I'm only blowin' off, a talkin' big shot
A cuttin' capers 'cause it's true de da do da oo oo
Baby, I'm in love (baby, I'm in love)
Baby, I'm in love with (baby, I'm in love with)
Baby, I'm in love with you
