Chop, Chop, Charlie Chan - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

A-dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon ta-da-dit

Chop, Chop, Charlie Chan

A-dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon ta-da-dit

Chop, Chop, Charlie Chan

A-Chop, Chop, Charlie Chan from China

He’s the heppest cat in town

Here’s the way he spiels to Dinah

A-dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon ta-da-dit

Chop, Chop, Charlie

He’s so foxy

Solituder Sender time

Comes straight on like Mr. Roxy

A-dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon ta-da-dit

Came all the way from way out yonder

Made his jive from here to there

Here’s the way he spiels out yonder

He won’t bring you down for fair

Chop, Chop, Charlie came from China

Just a solid sender time

He’s the solid mellow fellow

A-dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon dai-yon ta-da-dit

Chop, Chop, Charlie Chan

Solitude is sending man

(scatting)

Chop, Chop, Charlie Chan

Solitude is sending man
