Who's that whisperin' in the trees? It's two sailors and they're on leave Pipes and chains and swingin' hands Who's your daddy? Yes, I am! Fat cat came to play, now you can't run fast enough You'd best stay away when the pushers come to shove Zoot suit riot (Riot!) Throw back a bottle of beer Zoot suit riot (Riot!) A-pull a comb through your coal-black hair Zoot suit riot (Riot!) Throw back a bottle of beer Zoot suit riot (Riot!) A-pull a comb through your coal-black hair Blow, Daddy! A whipped-up jitterbuggin' brown-eyed man Stray cat frontin' out an eight-piece band Cut me, Sammy, and you'll understand In my veins hot music ran You got me in a sway, and I want to swing you, dove Now you sailors know where your women come for love Zoot suit riot (Riot!) Throw back a bottle of beer Zoot suit riot (Riot!) A-pull a comb through your coal-black hair You're in a zoot suit riot You're in a zoot suit riot You're in a zoot suit riot Zoo doo zi-ow Zoo doo zah zoo zay Hey ah-ba dee-ah Zay zay zay Ba-dum zi-yi-yi-yow Ba-dum zah zoo zay Zeh zoo zah zeh zoo Day day day Oh, you got me in a sway, and I want to swing you, dove Now you sailors know where your women come for love Zoot suit riot (Riot!) Throw back a bottle of beer Zoot suit riot (Riot!) A-pull a comb through your coal-black hair Zoot suit riot (Riot!) Throw back a bottle of beer Zoot suit riot (Riot!) A-pull a comb through your coal-black hair You're in a zoot suit riot You're in a zoot suit riot You're in a zoot suit riot I think I'm about ready to sing it
