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 he's glad he's found

She's his 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 me fa so la si

Do si la sol 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 sol la si

Do si 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 sol la si

Do si do

Shipoopi, Shipoopi, Shipoopi

The girl who's hard to get

Shipoopi. Shipoopi, Shipoopi

But you can win her yet

Shipoopi
