Shipoopi
[MARCELLUS]
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 waits 'til 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 Shi-Poo-Pi
Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi!

[BOYS]
The girl who's hard to get!

[MARCELLUS]
Shi-Poo-Pi!
Shi-Poo-Pi
Shi-Poo-Pi

[GIRLS]
But you can win her yet

[MARCELLUS]
Walk her once just to raise the curtain
Walk around twice and you make for certain
Once more in the flower garden
She will never get sore
If you beg her pardon
[ALL]
Do re me fa so la si
Do si la sol fa mi re do

[MARCELLUS]
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

[ALL]
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do

[MARCELLUS]
Now little ol' Sal, she's a no-gal, as anyone can see
Look at 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

[ALL]
Do re me fa sol la si
Do si do
[MARCELLUS]
Shi-Poo-Pi!
Shi-Poo-Pi!
Shi-Poo-Pi!

[BOYS]
The girl who's hard to get

[MARCELLUS]
Shi-Poo-Pi!
Shi-Poo-Pi!
Shi-Poo-Pi!

[GIRLS]
But you can win her yet

[Instrumental]

[ALL]
Shi-Poo-Pi, Shi-Poo-Pi, Shi-Poo-Pi!
The girl who's hard to get
Shi-Poo-Pi, Shi-Poo-Pi, Shi-Poo-Pi
But you can win her yet
You can win her yet
Shi-Poo-Pi
