Zip Gun Bop Lyrics - Singles - Royal Crown Revue

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 step 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 now 

Zip gun, zip gun bop 

(spoken) 

Hey spinach chin, 

Why don't you try on these cement shoes. 

Look like they fit you pretty freakin' good. 

Now see if you can walk on water puppy, you jackass 

(sung) 

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 can 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 now 

Zip gun, zip gun bop 

Hey hey 

Zip gun, zip gun bop 

Ya better learn to do it 'fore yer poor heart 

stops now 

Oh yeah baby, that zip gun bop
