Lyrics

If you wanna make a hit with me
Like the ultra-aristocracy
If you want to be the bee to be
Be cool and groovy and for me

If you care to, you can A B C
If you’re pretty, you may X Y Z
When you’re lucky and get 1 2 3
Be cool and groovy and for me

You jump the high fly trip up
Uptown to my playground
Hip city ditty whip up
See-saw the merry-go-round

If you wanna be a down gone kid
Knew your funny and soul-kick bid
Be careful not to flip your lid
Be cool and groovy and for me

If you think that this is something new
I can tell you just the thing to do
Kind of crazy like it’s too cuckoo
Be cool and groovy and for me

Don’t be sorry cause you wish you had
There’s a reason why you should be glad
If and when you ever hit my pad
Be cool and groovy and for me
