Doris Day Canadian Capers song lyrics

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 kick 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.

With Benny Goodman and his clarinet,

And Tommy Dorseys 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!

Tood-da-root-toot, to-du-du-du.

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 cut-you-you-you-you-tin' capers, too.

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 and showin' off,

A-cuttin capers 'cause it's true,

Ple-ee-oo-du-du-du-du-du;

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!
