Chords for Origins of Battle Rap: Louis Armstrong vs Dizzy Gilespie

In Hollywood Bowl concert in 1952, Lewis poked a little fun at the new bebop generation.
Spearheaded by Charlie [Bbm] Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, the bebop movement had alienated most of the
swing era musicians.
[C] Lewis himself called [Gb] it Chinese music, while guitarist Eddie Condon said,
They flat [Bb] their fifths.
We drink ours.
[D] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _

_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Eb] They constitute our [D] _
way.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yes, [Dm] all [Bb] the people were beaten out [F] there.
They were crazy [Cm] cool and gone.
[F] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[Bb] Let _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ them beat their brains out _ _ [Cm] till their flatty fifths [Ebm] are gone.
_ They'll be passing [B] _ [C] and be forgotten [F] with [Bb] the rain. _ _
_ _ _ Yes, they are fools _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Abm] who [F] have [Cm] lost their way.
[F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Yes, _ _ _ they are fools.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ I _ _ [Cm] say, oh, _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] yes, but every riff those cats make, _ _
_ [Bb] _ they think it's a gem.
[A] _
_ [Ab] _ [G] So long. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] On our _ _ _ _ way. _ _ _ _ _
I _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
think _ _ [N] _ _ _ Lewis just did that, you know, in jest, like, like Jay Leno when he talks about some of the things that the presidents and the various
congressmen or senators do.
I don't think there was any malice there.
He was doing that as a
friendly gesture because he had on the funny hat and stuff himself, you know.
And he was, but Louis Armstrong was the first one that ever started the bebop singing, you know.
Well,
him and Cab Calloway.
Because Cab Calloway used to, you know, hidey hidey ho and bubbly bebop and all
did the same.
So they really were the first bebop singers years ago.
But _ of course Dizzy,
they kind of just kind of brought it up to date a little bit and changed _ the direction of
the music, which I think was great.
