I Beeped When I Should Have Bopped Lyrics

My life was all sunshine and roses
With a gal I was right at the top
Well, we got along swell
′Til she suddenly fell
For the music that's known as bop
Oh, I tried to be so hep for her sake
′Til one day I made my fatal mistake

I beeped when I should have bopped
Lapped when I should have lopped
I was walking on air
'Til she called me a square
'Cause I beeped when I should have bopped
I dipped when I should have flipped
I tripped when I should have hipped
My romancing was fine
′Til I got out of line
′Cause I beeped when I should have bopped

Oolyahcoo, colyahoo, oobledoo, shmoodlepoo
It all sounds the same to me
Blah-de-dah, dah-de-blah, diddly-dah, shmiddly-pah
Is it something that's served with tea?

I beeped when I should have bopped
I heaped when I should have hopped
I was giving my all
′Til I fumbled the ball
And now I'm blowing my top
′Cause I beeped when I should have bopped

Oolyahcoo, colyahoo, oobledoo, shmoodlepoo
It all sounds the same to me
Blah-de-dah, dah-de-blah, diddly-dah, shmiddly-pah
Is it something that's served with tea?

I beeped when I should have bopped

I heaped when I should have hopped
I was giving my all
′Til I fumbled the ball
And now I'm blowing my top

'Cause I beeped
(Slow down, man)
′Cause I leaped
(Be cool, daddy-o)
′Cause I beeped
(That's the end)
When I should have bopped
