Opus One
D D6 D D6
I'm wrackin' my brain to think of a name
Dm+7 Dm6 Dm+7 Dm6
To give to this tune so Perry can croon;
Em7/9 A7 Em7 A7
And maybe ol' Bing will give it a fling,
D Fdim Em7 A7
And that'll start everyone hummin' the thing.
D D6 D D6
The melody's dumb repeat and repeat
Dm+7 Dm6 Dm+7 Dm6
But if you can swing, it's got a good beat,
Em7/9 A7 Em7 A7
And that's the main thing, to make with the feet,
D G D
'Cause ev'ryone's swingin' today.
Bridge:
F Gm
So I call it Opus One
Bb C7 F Dm Bb C7
It's not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey.
G D7 G Gdim
Opus One...it's got to swing not sway, maybe.
D D6 D D6
If Mister Les Brown could make it renowned,
Dm+7 Dm6 Dm+7 Dm6
And Ray Anthony could swing it for me,
Em7/9 A7 Em7 A7
There's never a doubt you'll knock yourself out
Em7 A7 D6
Whenever you can hear Opus One.
