The Original Broadway Cast Of The Music Man
Shipoopi
[MARCELLUS]
Now a woman who'll kiss on the very first date
Is usually a hussy
And a woman who'll kiss on the second time out
Is anything but fussy
But a woman who waits 'til the third time around
Head in the clouds, feet on the ground
She's the girl you're glad you found
She's your shipoopi
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi

[BOYS]
The girl who's hard to get

[MARCELLUS]
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi

[GIRLS]
But you can win her yet

[MARCELLUS]
Walk her once just to raise the curtain
Walk around twice and you make for certain
Once more in the flower garden
She will never get sore
If you beg her pardon
[ALL]
Do re me fa so la si
Do si la sol fa mi re do

[MARCELLUS]
Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
Never get sore on her way to supper

[ALL]
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do

[MARCELLUS]
Lil' Ol' Sal was an old gal anyone could see
Look at her now, she's a go gal
Who only goes for me

Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'
If you get a squeeze back, that's fancy cookin'
Once more for a pepper-upper
Never get sore on her way to supper

[ALL]
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do
[MARCELLUS]
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi

[BOYS]
The girl who's hard to get

[MARCELLUS]
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi

[GIRLS]
But you can win her yet

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

[ALL]
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
The girl who's hard to get
Shipoopi, shipoopi, shipoopi
But you can win her yet
You can win her yet
Shipoopi
