We The Cats (Shall Hep Ya) Lyrics

(words and music by Cab Calloway and Jack Palmer)

And the time is right
And tonight's the night
Alreed-alright
Come on, old man, come on

We the cats shall hep ya
So reap this righteous riff
Here's the beat to hep ya
So reap this righteous riff

Well, you gotta come on like GI's
You dig the repeat with me and sigh
Put it right on the lee high
Then you can really get by, oh my

We the cats shall hep ya
So reap this righteous riff
Now you're hep I'll betcha
So reap this righteous riff

Well, we the cats shall hep ya
So reap this righteous riff
Here's the beat to hep ya
So reap this righteous riff

Well, you gotta come on like GI's
You dig the repeat with me and sigh
Put it right on the lee high
Then you can really get by, oh my

We the cats shall hep ya
So reap this righteous riff
Now you're hep I'll betcha
So reap this righteous riff

(instrumnetal break)

Well, we the cats shall hep ya
So reap this righteous riff
Here's the beat to hep ya
So reap this righteous riff

Well, you gotta come on like GI's
You dig the repeat with me and sigh
Put it right on the lee high
Then you can really get by, oh my

We the cats shall hep ya
So reap this righteous riff
Now you're hep I'll betcha
Skibble-de-dooba
Skibble-de-boy-boy
Skibble-de-reeba
This righteous, this righteous riff
