Shipoopi (from "The Music Man")

Shipoopi - Buddy Hackett/Music Man Ensemble

Written by：Meredith Willson

Well 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'll wait till 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

The girl who's hard to get

Shipoopi shipoopi shipoopi

But you can win her yet

Walk her once just to raise the curtain

Then you walk around twice and make for certain

Once more in the flower garden

She will never get sore if you beg her pardon

Do re mi fa so la ti

Do ti la so fa mi re do

Squeeze her once when she isn't lookin'

If you get a squeeze back that's fancy cookin'

Once more for a pepper upper

She will never get sore on her way to supper

Do re me fa so la ti

Do ti do

Now little ol' sal was a no gal

As anyone could see

Lookit 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

She will never get sore on her way to supper

Do re me fa so la ti

Do ti do

Shipoopi shipoopi shipoopi

The girl who's hard to get

Shipoopi shipoopi shipoopi

But you can win her yet

Shipoopi shipoopi shipoopi

The girl who's hard to get

Shipoopi shipoopi shipoopi

But you can't win her yet

You can't win her yet
