Zee Bap Lyrics by J. Harrison Ghee, NaTasha Yvette Williams, Christian Borle, Angie Schworer, Raena White, Original Broadway Cast of Some Like It Hot

Some Like It Hot (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2023

[DAPHNE, spoken]
Buster, the last time a man threatened us
He was twice your size and packing heat
Yet here I stand, I got a magic phrase that shuts up jerks like you!
[BAR MANAGER, spoken]
Dollface, I don't care what you or—
[DAPHNE, spoken]
Listen up!
(sung)
When a bully like you gets bossy
And starts a-screechin' like an alley cat
Then Mister "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the phrase to make that cat go scat!
[SWEET SUE]
And when a bloviator brays opinions
And doesn't pay a lady what she's owed
Then Mister "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the code to make him hit the road!
[JOE (as Josephine)]
Webstеr's dictionary teaches language so clеan
[JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE]
But Mr. Webster doesn't have the words that we mean
[JOE (as Josephine)]
The music hath the charms to soothe the savage breast
[JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE]
Even when "Zee Bap Zeh Bootaleya" is what we've expressed!
[DAPHNE]
So when an argument is at its Zenith
[JOE (as Josephine)]
And you wanna curse and say, "You dirty rat”
[DAPHNE, JOE (as Josephine) & SWEET SUE]
Then Mister "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the classy way to make men
[ALL]
Scat!
[BAR MANAGER, spoken]
Okay, here's your two hundred!
You dames are crazy, I'm outta here!
[MINNIE]
When a knucklehead gets too handsy
And tries to wrestle me to the floor
I tell him
[SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS]
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
[MINNIE]
As I kick him right through the door!
[GINGER]
And when a caveman like him says, "Dollface
It's time to settle down and be my wife"
Then ladies
[SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS]
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
[GINGER]
Will tell him, "Not on your sweet life!"
Ooh!
[JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE]
Black or white or Latin, Asian, Christian or Jew
It's awfully nice to know that we can all
[ALL]
Parlez-vous
[SWEET SUE]
And when we band together, girls
I'm certain you'll find
[ALL]
We're a family that's linguistically intertwined
[JOE (as Josephine)]
So when some joker starts explaining what you already knew
[SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS]
We'll tell him, "Ooh-pee doo-bee, silly-ya ma-hee, hilly-ya die-ee blu!"
[DAPHNE]
Or if he's stinkin' of perfume when he crawls in after dawn
[SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS]
We'll tell him, "Doodle-ee, doodle-ee, doodle-ee, doodle-ee
Doodle-ee, get gone!"
[JOE (as Josephine) & DAPHNE & (SOCIETY SYNCOPATORS)]
Is there a phrase that you can toss? (Ooh ooh-dee, ooh dee-pop!)
To show a bully who is boss? (Heebee jeebie, dot-en, bop!)
[ALL]
Say "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
To any slippery snake who's tryin' to make you less than you am!
Yes, I'm awfully glad we found each other
We'll keep on swinging 'til the battle is done
[JOE (as Josephine), DAPHNE, & (SWEET SUE)]
While singing "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam" (Swing it til' the battle is done!)
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam" (Bah-duh, dah-duh, dah-duh, doy!)
[ALL]
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
[JOE (as Josephine), DAPHNE & SWEET SUE]
So listen, ladies, we have got to stick together
[ALL]
'Til the battle is won!
[JOE, DAPHNE & SWEET SUE]
"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet"
[ALL]
Doo-wah!
