One O’ Clock Jump
Tony Bennett and The Count Basie Orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics of Tony Bennett's song "One O'Clock Jump" describe the feelings of a person who has found his true love and compares her to a beautiful flower. The lyrics start with the word Amapola, which means poppy flower in Spanish, and the singer calls his lover 'My pretty little poppy' and compares her to the lovely flower which is sweet and heavenly. He further explains that since he found his lover his heart is wrapped around her, and loving her feels like a rhapsody, perhaps referring to the powerful and emotional nature of his love.

The singer then again addresses his lover as Amapola and says that the pretty little flower must have copied its endearing charm from her. He expresses his longing to hear her say "I love you", which emphasizes his desire for her love and affection. The lyrics of 'One O'Clock Jump' are beautifully written and convey the depth of love and admiration that the singer has for his partner.
