(Mando Dorame/Eddie Nichols)
Arranged by Mando
Dorame and Eddie Nichols


Well there's
this dance, you ought to know
It's a little
somethin' I made up cats
To keep your heads
low
See there are lots of sore
gangsters
Packin' iron all day
So you learn
my two steps stay out of their way


Zip
gun, zip gun bop
Ya better learn to do it
'fore yer poor heart stops now
Zip gun, zip
gun bop


Well there's flat-foot
Louie
Sittin' on his front stoop
He caught
five rounds in the belly
He looked like a
messed-up bowl of minestrone soup


Now
you take that cat Mugs
He got iced the other
day
He could have saved his mama
The dry
cleanin' bill my way


Zip gun, zip gun
bop
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor
heart stops
Zip gun, zip gun bop


So
now you can see
Zip gun bop was meant to
be
Lots of lead flyin'
Lots of lonely gals
cryin'
But you can hear them cats
shootin'
They're shootin' rat-ta-tat-tat
So
you learn my two step Jack
Or that's
that


Zip gun, zip gun bop
Ya better
learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart stops
Zip
gun, zip gun bop
Hey hey


Zip gun,
zip gun bop
Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer
poor heart stops
Oh yeah baby, that zip gun
bop
