3:19
single, 1946
Written by Lionel Hampton and Curley Hamner
According to Wikipedia, despite the writing credit, this song is essentially a rewriting of Helen Humes' 1945 R&B hit "Be-Baba-Leba", which in turn was closely related to "Ee-Bobaliba" by Jim Wynn. What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Anyhoo, this is a bouncy big band jazz with the title repeated at least twenty times, along with a couple of nonsense couples about King Tut or "mama on the cot."
