Who's that whisperin' in the trees

It's two sailors and they're on leave

Pipes and chains and swingin' hands

Who's your daddy? yes i am

Fat cat came to play

Now he can't run fast enough

You had best stay away

When the pushers come to shove

Zoot suit riot

Throw back a bottle of beer

Zoot suit riot

Pull a comb through your coal black hair



Chorus

A whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man

A stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band

Cut me sammy and you'll understand

In my veins hot music ran

You got me in a sway

And i want to swing you dove

Now you sailors know

Where your women come for love



Chorus

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

Oh you got me in a sway

And i want to swing you dove

Now you sailors know

Where your women come for love



Chorus



Chorus



You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot

You're in a zoot suit riot
