I’m wrackin’ my brain to think of a name

To [Dm+7]give to this tune so [Dm+7]Perry can croon;

And [Em7/9]maybe ol’ Bing will give it a fling,

And that’ll start everyone hummin’ the thing.

The melody’s dumbrepeat and repeat

But [Dm+7]if you can swing, it’s[Dm+7] got a good beat,

And [Em7/9]that’s the main thing, to make with the feet,

‘Cause ev’ryone’s swingin’ today.

Bridge:

So I call it Opus One

It’s not for Sammy Kaye, hey, hey, hey.

Opus One…it’s got to swing not sway, maybe.

If Mister Les Brown could make it renowned,

And [Dm+7]Ray Anthony could s[Dm+7]wing it for me,

There’s [Em7/9]never a doubt you’ll knock yourself out

Whenever you can hear Opus One.
