In Walked Bud (Vocal) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Verse 2]
Oscar played a mean sax
Mr. Byas blew a mean axe
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then the joint started jumpin'
[Bridge]
Every hip stud really dug Bud
Soon he hit town
Takin' that note nobody wrote
Puttin' it down
[Verse 3]
O. P. he was screamin'
Next to Dizzy who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Verse 2]
Oscar played a mean sax
Mr. Byas blew a mean axe
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then the joint started jumpin'
[Bridge]
Every hip stud really dug Bud
Soon he hit town
Takin' that note nobody wrote
Puttin' it down
[Verse 3]
O. P. he was screamin'
Next to Dizzy who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Scat]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Verse 2]
O. P. blew a mean axe
Mr. Byas blew a mean sax
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Bridge]
Every hip stud really dug Bud
Soon he hit town
Findin' that note nobody wrote
Puttin' it down
[Verse 1]
Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'

Mr. Byas blew a mean sax
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'

Every hip stud really dug Bud
Soon he hit town
Findin' that note nobody wrote
Puttin' it down

Dizzy, he was screamin'
Next to O. P. who was beamin'
Monk was thumpin'
Suddenly in walked Bud
And then they got into somethin'
