Is it a copyright violation to give the complete lyric here?
I wish someone would give more information on this song. It is one of the most well-known of all 50s songs.
I just removed all the uncited info about the lyrics to the song. Please find a reliable source before readding.
Also any info about living people (such as the singer's person life) must have a citation from a reliable source. Blog entries where anyone can write what they want is not a reliable source. Please see [[WP:BLP|Biographies of Living people policy and adhere to it before readding the information (i.e. don't readd it withou citing a reliable source)-- Roswell native 20:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
The song tutti frutti was also a jazz song from late 30's (1938-1939). I don't know much about it other than it was performed by Slim Gaillard and Slam Stewart. I have never heard any other versions so I don't know if this version is related to the song from the 50's or not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.10.24.197 ( talk) 20:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
"A wop bop a loo mop, a good goddam! / Tutti frutti, loose booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy."
--- That's the dirtiest thing I've ever read —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.201.92.155 ( talk) 22:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Slim and Slam's song was the original but doesn't sound anything like Little Richard's. the obvious link is that Slim Gaillard created a whole nonsense slang which was called Hep-Talk, he even published a dictionary of it. O'roony was hep talk for something good. Mcvouty O'roony was hep-talk for something really good. In the original Little Richard version he actually sings Tutti Fruity Oh Rudy. clearly. I don't know how it became O'rooty. the wiki page for Slim Gaillard recognises the link . 90.248.89.130 ( talk) 02:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
This is a misrepresentation of something taken out of a very generalized statement in an article about Pat Boone.

Charles White's "Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorized Biography" indicates the following in relation to part of the lyrics for "Tutti Fruitti":
"Awop-Bop-a-Loo-Mop Alop-Bam-Boom
Tutti Fruitti, Aw-Rootie (5 times)..."
I find it interesting that lyrics on the net and in this LR article indicate that the one line is "tutti frutti all rootie." Further, this article now explains what "all" rootie meant at the time. Perhaps, "all" is pronounced "aw" and that's why the lyrics are printed that way in White's authorized biography. as it stands in the article, the spelling does not seem to be correct.-- Smoovedogg ( talk) 23:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
According to Charles Connor, Little Richard's drummer back in the 50s, the original lyrics are:

I just changed the hatnote so that it redirects only to the disambig page, which (of course) has links to all the related articles. I didn't think there was a need to single one out for a much less important song. (Not that that is a bad thing. Almost any version of any song is less important than this one.)

'All fruits' would be 'tutte le frutte' in Italian - 'tutti frutti' is really fake Italian for 'all fruits', and 'frutti' is only used in 'frutti secchi' to refer to dry fruit, but not to fresh fruit. I have tried to edit this page to reflect this fact and it has been reverted back without reason whatsoever. Would appreciate it if anyone did change the post to point that 'tutti frutti' is not Italian for 'all fruits', as the entry claims now, but 'fake/pretend' Italian for it. 2A02:6B67:6628:0:A069:14E4:99D5:3CC3 ( talk) 13:07, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
