Give Him the Ooh-La-La (Break Downs) Lyrics


Say you're fond of fancy thing
Diamond clips and emerald rings
And you want your man to come through
Give him the ooh-la-laWhen your car is asked to stop
By a handsome traffic cop
'Less you want a ticket or two
Give him the ooh-la-laIf Napoleon at Waterloo-la-la
Had an army of debutantes
To give the British the well known, ooh-la-la
He would have changed the history of FranceWhen your favorite Romeo
Grabs his hat and starts to go
Don't reveal the fact that you're blue
Don't break down and start to boo hooThere's just one thing for you
La, la to la, la do la, la
Like Tallulah just
Give him the ooh-la-laIf Napoleon at Waterloo, la, la
Had an army of debutantes
To give the British the well known ooh-la-la

He'd have changed the history of FranceWhen your favorite Romeo
Grabs his hat and starts to go
Don't reveal the fact that you're blue
Don't break down and start to boo hooThere's just one thing for you
La, la to la, la do la, la
Like Tallulah just
Give him the ooh-la-laThe ooh-la-la
The ooh-la-la
You'd better be like Tallulah
Don't be a fool, ah
Give him the ooh-la-la

Blossom Dearie (1926-2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist. Born on 28th April 1926 in East Durham, New York, of mixed Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, Dearie began her career in vocal groups in New York. In the early 1950s she moved to Paris, forming her own vocal group, The Blue Stars, later to become the Swingle Singers. After signing to Verve, Dearie returned to the U.S. where, despite developing a successful career and achieving international fame, by 1974 the lack of interest from major labels led her to start her own label, Daffodil Records.
