Canadian Capers (cuttin' Capers) Lyrics - Doris Day

I heard you call for an all star band 

It's something 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 

Lawdy, how the joint'll hum 

A cuttin' capers just for you 

You'll never pick about or pick a quarr'l 

With Mister Krupa or with Frankie Carle 

You'll never dig a list of bigger names 

A cuttin' capers with Harry James

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

With Benny Goodman and his clarinet 

And Tommy Dorsey's in it, too 

Alvino Rey will star 

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 lic'rish stick 

Out in the woodshed, son 

Why it's Papa Benny Goodman 

And he's showin' ya quick 

How the proper lic'rish stickin's done 

(Too root, dah roo, ta, doo doo) 

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 

(Doo doo, doo doo, roo doo)

(Do rah do) 

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, a showin' off 

A cuttin capers 'cause it's true 

Dee dah, dee dah, ooh, ooh, ooh 

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
