[Verse 1]
Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Verse 2]
Oscar played a mean sax
Mr. Byas blew a mean axe
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then the joint started jumpin'
[Bridge]
Every hip stud really dug Bud
Soon he hit town
Takin' that note nobody wrote
Puttin' it down
[Verse 3]
O. P. he was screamin'
Next to Dizzy who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Scat]

Soon he hit town
Findin' that note nobody wrote
Puttin' it down

Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
