v1
*BeBop Betty – She was an amazing little sprite
Sleep all day – oh, she would play sweet blues in the night

v2
Sit right there on the bell of that trumpet
Listenin’ to Miles have his way
She’d pull every note like slow, sweet taffy
Those notes would bend, oh, but they wouldn’t break

CH
*BeBop Betty – Do what she love, and love what she do
No excuses, when you’re good and ready
It’s really no secret – No room for regret
Find the love in your life, and your life will love you

v3
Perched right there on the tip of that mic stand
Ella would bebop and Betty would swoon
The world fell away and Betty would raise
Every note in the hope that we’d all hear it true

v4
Holdin’ on tight to the strings that were singin’
Under BB’s touch on sweet Lucille
Betty got high on the mood he was slingin’
Oh, one sweet note could say so much that was real

CH
*BeBop Betty – Do what she love, and love what she do
No excuses, when you’re good and ready
It’s really no secret – No room for regret
Find the love in your life, and your life will love you
