Get Hip to the Bix (Rondeau)

Get hip to the Bix, was the beat you laid

Pros were tapped out, considered and weighed 

Cons were lost, drowned out by the hi-hat

Objections overcome by the rat-a-tat 

Like Buddy Rich every day you played

Your message, syncopated, in cascade

Each note carefully, expertly made

My protests no match for your scat

Get hip to the Bix

At last, into your time I swayed 

(I could never resist your serenade)

And we were a trio just like that

The pup proving to be one hip cat 

Our refrain an echo of your crusade 

Get hip to the Bix
