Shorty The Barber - Lou Millet

Shorty The Barber

Lou Millet

(Millet, Republic 7130, 1956)

Have you ever passed by Shorty's barber shop
Hey, Shorty bops the boogie on the razor's strop
He snaps the scissors and he blows the comb
It sounds just like a saxophone
He nods his head and he bats his eye
He shuffles his feet and twitches his thighs
Everybody gets hep to the bop
But shorty bops the boogie on the razor's strop
Oh, a snap from the scissors, jig-a-shoo, jig-a-shoo
And a blow from his comb, olee-aye olee-aye
Sounds just like a saxophone
People passing by, never fail to stop
When Shorty bops the boogie on the razor's strop

Well, he charges me a dollar just to cut my hair
Enjoyed all the while I'm in his chair
take it easy is all I have to do
I feel like a million when gets through
He hand in my collar, he hand in my tie
He looks at me with a gleam in his eye
He brushes me off and before he's through
Says to me, man, what else can I do
Oh yeah, he bounced to me as he opened the door
Says, thank you sir, come back some more
That's Shorty the barber, now he's the top
When he bops the boogie on the razor's strop
Oh, a snap from the scissors, jig-a-shoo, jig-a-shoo
And a blow from his comb, olee-aye olee-aye
Sounds just like a saxophone
People passing by, never fail to stop
When Shorty bops the boogie on the razor's strop
When Shorty bops the boogie on the razor's strop
When Shorty bops the boogie on the razor's strop
