Raena White, Christian Borle, NaTasha Yvette Williams, J. Harrison Ghee, Angie Schworer and "Some Like It Hot" Original Broadway Cast - Zee Bap

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!

Dollface, I don't care what you or

Listen up!

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!

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!

Webster's dictionary teaches language so clean

But Mr. Webster doesn't have the words that we mean

The music hath the charms to soothe the savage breast

Even when "Zee Bap Zeh Bootaleya" is what we've expressed!

So when an argument is at its Zenith

And you wanna curse and say, "You dirty rat"

Then Mister "Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"
Is the classy way to make men

Scat!

Okay, here's your two hundred!
You dames are crazy, I'm outta here!

When a knucklehead gets too handsy
And tries to wrestle me to the floor
I tell him

"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"

As I kick him right through the door!

And when a caveman like him says, "Dollface
It's time to settle down and be my wife"
Then ladies

"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"

Will tell him, "Not on your sweet life!"
Ooh!

Black or white or Latin, Asian, Christian or Jew
It's awfully nice to know that we can all

Parlez-vous

And when we band together, girls
I'm certain you'll find

We're a family that's linguistically intertwined

So when some joker starts explaining what you already knew

We'll tell him, "Ooh-pee doo-bee, silly-ya ma-hee, hilly-ya die-ee blu!"

Or if he's stinkin' of perfume when he crawls in after dawn

We'll tell him, "Doodle-ee, doodle-ee, doodle-ee, doodle-ee
Doodle-ee, get gone!"

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!)

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

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!)

"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet Bam-Bam"

So listen, ladies, we have got to stick together

'Til the battle is won!

"Zee Bap Zeh Bootalee Atta Feet"

Doo-wah!
