Ella Fitzgerald & Ink Spots - Cow-Cow Boogie (1944)

?feature=shared

Out on the plains down in Santa Fe
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singin'
The most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty he learned in the city
Cuma-ti-yi-yi-ay
Cuma-ti-yippity-yi-ay

Now get along, get hip little doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
And he trucked 'em on down that old fairway
Singin' his cow-cow boogie in the strangest way
Cuma-ti-yi-yi-ay
Cuma-ti-yippity-yi-ay

Now singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a Harlem Touch
He was raised on loco weed
He's what you call a swingin' half breed
Singin' his cow-cow boogie in the strangest way
Cuma-ti-yi-yi-ay
Cuma-ti-yippity-yi-ay

5. Your parents' music appreciation course put you under good influences

I'm not saying it was intentional on their part, but their listening habits were instructive.
