Hoops (From "The Band Wagon") - Fred Astaire, Adele Astaire

She have name they call Marie

She is little sister to me

He have name they call Louie

He is great big brother to me

We live on the Rue Marceau

Vingt et un le numero

We play in zee Park Marceau

Everyday it’s there we go

We do things Mama don’t know

She too busy with her beau

And everyday we hop and skip

And fight and jump and fall down

We don’t care how bad we are

We only get a?

down

After school how?

And we do not give a good big damn

We play 'oops et ra-ra-ra

Et rat-tat-tan

We bump into zee big fat man

We play 'oops in the park all day

Mama, she scold, she say, «Eh, eh, eh!»

You mustn’t knock over the gentleman with the whip

And we play 'oops

And we write words upon big fats

For only forty malipense

All day long we play with the 'oops
