Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 â€“ October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

Gene Vincent

Well be bop a lula shes my baby
Be bop a lula I dont mean maybe
Be bop a lula shes my baby
Be bop a lula I dont mean maybe
Be bop a lula shes my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
Well, shes the gal in the red blue jeans
Shes the queen of all the teens
Shes the woman that I know
Shes the woman that (scream) loves me so.
Be bop a lula shes my baby
Be bop a lula I dont mean maybe
Be bop a lula shes my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
(lets rock)
Well, now shes the woman thats got that beat
Shes the woman with the flyin feet
Shes the woman that walks around the store
Shes the woman that yells (scream) more, more, more, more.
Be bop a lula shes my baby
Be bop a lula I dont mean maybe
Be bop a lula shes my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
(lets rock again, now)
Well be bop a lula shes my baby
Be bop a lula I dont mean maybe
Be bop a lula shes my baby
Be bop a lula I dont mean maybe
Be bop a lula shes my baby doll, my baby doll, my baby doll.
