Louis Jordan
Push Ka Pee Shee Pie
[Verse 1]
Saga boy from Fyzabad
A little town in Trinidad
Came by plane to New York Town
Dressed up like a circus clown
[Verse 2]
With his tenor sax in hand
Says he's maestro of a band
Asked him what's the latest thing
Saga boy began to sing
[Chorus]
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
[Verse 3]
Saga met a gal in town
She said she will take him round
He said it's a privilege
So she sold him the Brooklyn bridge
[Verse 4]
Then she took him to a show
They sat back in the last row
Saga asked her for a kiss
All she said to him was this
[Chorus]
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
[Verse 5]
Then he asked to take her home
Thinking she was all alone
When he took her to her door
This is what poor Saga saw
[Verse 6]
Shadow of a great big man
Something shining in his hand
He didn't wait to say goodbye
As he ran I heard him cry
[Chorus]
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
[Verse 7]
This here Push-Ka-Pee She Pie
Made me laugh until I cried
Funny thing is that it seems
No one knows just what it means
[Chorus]
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
[Chorus]
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Push-Ka-Pee She Pie, hey hey
Oob-La-Ib-Li A-Ib-La
It's the new Calypso fever
