Ella Fitzgerald

They call it that jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play It started on journal square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air And now you hear it everywhere Uptown, gave it new licks Downtown, added some tricks No town, makes it sound, the same As where it came from So if you don't feel so hot Go out to some jersey spot And whether you're hep or not The jersey bounce'll make you swing How I love that jersey bounce (scat) Oh come on and play that jersey bounce They call it that jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Whenever they play that jersey bounce It started on journal square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air That tune called the jersey bounce Uptown, gave it new licks Downtown, added some tricks No town, make it sound the same As where it came from So if you don't feel so hot Go out to some jersey spot And whether you're hep or not The jersey bounce'll make you swing Ounce by ounce The jersey bounce Puts you right in the swing That jersey bounce It'll make you swing Give me that jersey bounce

Jersey Bounce

Ella Fitzgerald

Our love is a dream, but in my reverie I can see that this love was meant for me Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me My dreams are as worthless as tin to me Without you life will never begin to be So love me as I love you in my reverie Make my dream a reality Let's dispense with formality Come to me in my reverie Our love is a dream, but in my reverie I can see that this love was meant for me Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me My dreams are as worthless as tin to me Without you life will never begin to be So love me as I love you in my reverie Make my dream a reality Let's dispense with formality Come to me in my reverie

My Reverie

Ella Fitzgerald

The moon is the same moon above you Aglow with it's cool evening light But shining at night, in Tunisia Never does it shine so bright The stars are aglow in the heavens But only the wise understand That shining at night in Tunisia They guide you through the desert sand Words fail, to tell a tale Too exotic to be told Each night's a deeper night In a world, ages old The cares of the day seem to vanish The ending of day brings release Each wonderful night in Tunisia Where the nights are filled with peace Each wonderful night in Tunisia

A Night in Tunisia

Ella Fitzgerald

When days are long and nights are lonely And all my daydreams have gone astray I think about the one and only Who's bound to find me some golden day The one I love is coming along some day And I'll have none except the one I love He/She may be near or ever so far away But I'll have none except the one I love And though our meeting is left to chance Until our meeting I still will have my dream romance And through the night I pray to the moon above To please be kind and find the one I love

The One I Love (Belongs to Somebody Else) [#][*]

Ella Fitzgerald

Signing off Does it surprise you I won't need your lips anymore Signing off Can't idolize you My heart crossed your name off the door Signing off Now that I've told you That this is just where I came in Signing off Why should I hold you You've already said I can't win It's strange how the rest of the world knows The things you should see at a glance And I want what all of the world knows A person to person romance Signing off I can't pretend dear My trip to the stars took a spill We're all through This is the ending Because you only wanted a thrill I'm signing off I'll always remember the pleasure Of friendship and all that it's worth I know that it's something to treasure From here to the ends of the earth Signing off Happy I met you So please make me happy again And be sure I won't forget you The best of everything until then I'm signing off Signing Off

Signing Off

Ella Fitzgerald

The song a robin sings, Through years of endless springs, The murmur of a brook at evening tides. That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and I agree, She's everything on this earth to me. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and I agree, She's everything on this earth to me.

Stella by Starlight

Ella Fitzgerald

You're walkin' along the street, or you're at a party, Or else you're alone and then you suddenly dig, You're looking' in someone's eyes, you suddenly realize That this could be the start of something big. You're lunching at twenty-one and watchin' your diet, Declining a Charlotte russe, accepting a fig, When out of a clear blue sky, it's suddenly gal and guy, And this could be the start of something big. There's no controlling the unrolling of your fate, my friend, Who knows what's written in the magic book. But when a lover you discover at the gate my friend, Invite her in without a second look. You're up in an aeroplane or dining at sardi's, Or lying at Malibu alone on the sand, You suddenly hear a bell, and right away you can tell That this could be the start of something grand. This could be the start of something very big, Why don't you play your part? Please give your heart to me, and see. This could be the start of something wonderful, Why don't you take a chance? Just try romance with me, and see. Your watchin' the sun come up and countin' your money, Or else in a dim cafe you're ordering wine, Then suddenly there he is, and you wanna be where he is, And this must be the start of something, This could be the heart of something, This could be the start of something big.

This Could Be the Start of Something Big [#][*]

Ella Fitzgerald

This year's crop of kisses Don't seem as sweet to me This year's crop just misses What kisses used to be This year's new romance Doesn't seem to have a chance Even helped by Mr. Moon above This year's crop of kisses is not for me For I'm still wearin' last year's love

This Year's Kisses

Ella Fitzgerald

Alone together, beyond the crowd Above the world, we're not too proud To cling together; we're strong As long as we're together Alone together, the blinding rain The starless night were not in vain For we're together, and what is there To fear together? Our love is as deep as the sea Our love is as great as a love can be And we can weather the great unknown If we're alone together

Alone Together

Ella Fitzgerald

There`s a cheerful little earful Gosh I miss it something fearful And this cheerful little earful Is the well known "I love you." Stocks can go down, business slow down But the milk and honey flow down With a cheerful little earful Of the well known "I love you." In ev`ry play it`s a set phrase What the public get phrase But as a pet phrase it`ll do do do Poo-pa-roo-it Soft and see you-it Make me happy, you can do it. With a cheerful little earful Of the well known "I love you."

Cheerful Little Earful [*]

Ella Fitzgerald

The gentleman is a dope, a man of many faults A clumsy Joe who wouldn't know a Rhumba from a Waltz The gentleman is a dope and not my cup of tea (Why do I get in a dither? He doesn't belong to me) The gentleman isn't bright; he doesn't know the score A Cake will come; he'll take a crumb and never ask for more The gentleman's eyes are blue, but little do they see (Why am I beating my brains out? He doesn't belong to me) He's somebody else's problem; she's welcome to the guy She'll never understand him half as well as I The gentleman is a dope; he isn't very smart He's just a lug you like to hug and hold against your heart The gentleman is a dope; doesn't know how happy he could be Look at me crying my eyes out as if he belonged to me As if; he'll never belong to me

The Gentleman Is a Dope

Ella Fitzgerald

I hear music, mighty fine music The murmur of a morning breeze up there The rattle of the milkman on the stair Sure that's music, mighty fine music The singing of a sparrow in the sky The perking of the coffee right nearby That's my favorite melody You, my angel, phoning me I hear music, mighty fine music And anytime I think my world is wrong I get me out of bed and sing this song That's my favorite melody You, my angel, phoning me I hear music, mighty fine music And anytime I think my world is wrong I get me out of bed and sing this crazy song

I Hear Music

Ella Fitzgerald

Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright 'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear The moon may be high But I can't see a thing in the sky 'Cause I only have eyes for you. I don't know if we're in a garden Or on a crowded avenue You are here, so am I Maybe millions of people go by But they all disappear from view And I only have eyes for you I don't know if we're in a garden Or on a crowded avenue You are here, so am I Maybe millions of people go by But they all disappear from view And I only have eyes for you.

I Only Have Eyes for You

Ella Fitzgerald

Love me or leave me or let me be lonely You won't believe me and I love you only I'd rather be lonely Than happy with somebody else You might find the night time The right time for kissin' But night time is my time for just reminiscin' Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else There'll be no one unless That someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love, but I don't want to borrow To have it today and you give back tomorrow For my love is your love There's no love for nobody else There'll be no one unless That someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love, but I don't want to borrow To have it today and you give back tomorrow For my love is your love There's no love for nobody else Nobody else, nobody else

Love Me or Leave Me

Ella Fitzgerald

You're mean to me Why must you be mean to me? Gee, honey, it seems to me You love to see me cryin' I don't know why I stay home each night When you say you phone You don't and I'm left alone. Sing the blues and sighin' You treat me coldly each day in the year You always scold me Whenever somebody is near, dear I must be great fun to be mean to me You shouldn't, for can't you see What you mean to me

Mean to Me

Ella Fitzgerald

Somebody loves me I wonder who I wonder who she can be Somebody loves me I wish I knew Who can she be worries me For every girl who passes me I shout, "hey, maybe" You were meant to be my loving baby Somebody loves me I wonder who Maybe it's you

Somebody Loves Me [*]

Ella Fitzgerald

Let me tell you 'bout a boy I know He is my baby and he lives next door Every morning before the sun comes up He brings my coffee in my favorite cup That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love him so When I'm in trouble and I have no friends I know he'll go with me until the end Everybody asks me how I know I smile and tell them he told me so That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love him so Now if I call him on the telephone And tell him that I'm all alone By the time I count from one to four I hear him on my door In the evening when the sun goes down When there is nobody else around He kisses me and he holds me tight He tells me "baby, everything's all alright" That's why I know, yes, I know Hallelujah, I just love him so

Hallelujah, I Love Him So

Ella Fitzgerald

I'm so blue I don't know what to do All day through I seem to say to you I did wrong when I let you go away 'Cause now I dream about you night and day I'm so unhappy and dissatisfied I'll be happy if I had you by my side If I could be with you one little hour tonight And free to do all those little things I might I want you to know you wouldn't go Until I told you that I loved you so If I could be with you, I'd love you long If I could be with you, I'd love you strong And I'm telling you for true you'd be anything but blue If I could be with you

If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight) [#][*]

Ella Fitzgerald

The crowd sees me out dancing Carefree and romancing Happy with my someone new I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside 'Cause I'm still in love with you They see me night and daytime Having such a gay time They don't know what I go through I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside 'Cause I'm still in love with you No one knows it's just a pose Pretending I'm glad we're apart And when I cry, my eyes are dry The tears are in my heart My darling, can't we make up? Ever since our breakup Make believe is all I do I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside 'Cause I'm still in love I am still in love with you

Laughin' on the Outside (Crying on the Inside)

Ella Fitzgerald

My gal and I, we had a fight And I'm all by myself I guess she thinks now that she's gone I'll lay right on the shelf I'm gonna show her she's all wrong No lonesome stuff for mine I won't sit home, all alone She'll soon find that I'm Runnin' wild, lost control Runnin' wild, mighty bold Feelin' gay, reckless too Care free mind all the time, never blue Always goin' don't know where Always showin', I don't care Don't love nobody, it's not worth while All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild When I first met that gal of mine It seemed just like a dream But when she tho't she had me right She started actin' mean Like mary led her little lamb She led me all the time Until the worm had to turn That's the reason I'm Runnin' wild, lost control Runnin' wild, mighty bold Feelin' gay, reckless too Care free mind all the time, never blue Always goin' don't know where Always showin', I don't care Don't love nobody, it's not worth while All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild No gal will ever make a fool of me No gal! I mean just what I say I ain't the simpleton I used to be Wonder how I got that way Once I was full of sentiment, it's true But now I got a cruel heart With all that other foolishness I'm through Gonna play the Villain part Runnin' wild, lost control Runnin' wild, mighty bold Feelin' gay, reckless too Care free mind all the time, never blue Always goin' don't know where Always showin', I don't care Don't love nobody, it's not worth while All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild

Runnin' Wild

Ella Fitzgerald

Though you say we're through I'll always love you And you can depend on me Though someone that you've met Has made you forget, honey, you know You can count on me When I wish, I wish you success And loads, loads of happiness, but, baby, I gotta confess I'll be lonely if you ever Ah, if you ever need a friend And you can depend on me I'll be yours until the end And loads of happiness I wish you success But, darling, I gotta confess I'm gonna be lonely Oh, if you ever, ah, if you ever need a friend I'll be right by your side, ah, till the end And you can depend on me You can depend on me

You Can Depend on Me

Ella Fitzgerald

What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel When the bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love

Almost Like Being in Love

Ella Fitzgerald

Dites-moi Pourquoi La vie est belle, Dies-moi Pourquoi La vie est gai, Dites-moi Pourquoi, Chere Mad'moiselle, Est-ce que Parce que Vous m'aimez? Dites-moi Pourquoi, Chere Mad'moiselle, Est-ce que Parce que Vous m'aimez? Tell me why The sky is filled with music, Tell me why We fly on clouds above Can it be That we Can fly to music Just because, Just because We're in love?

Dites-Moi

Ella Fitzgerald

I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night And still have begged for more I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I've never done before I'll never know what made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night And still have begged for more, more, more I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I've never done before I'll never know what made it so, so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night

I Could Have Danced All Night

Ella Fitzgerald

No other love have I Only my love for you Only the dream we knew No other love Watching the night go by Wishing that you could be Watching the night with me Into the night I cry Hurry home Come home to me Set me free Free from doubt And free from longing Into your arms I'll fly Locked in your arms I'll stay Waiting to hear you say No other love have I No other love (Into the night I cry) Hurry home Come home to me Set me free Free from doubt And free from longing Into your arms I'll fly Locked in your arms I'll stay Waiting to hear you say No other love have I No other love(no other love) No other love

No Other Love

Ella Fitzgerald

Yeahh.... I've got steam heat. I've got steam heat. I've got steam heat. But I need your love to keep away the cold. I've got steam heat. I've got steam heat. I've got steam heat. But I can't get warm without your hand to hold. The radiators hissin still I need your kissing to keep me from freezing each night. I've got a hot water bottle, but nothing I've got'll take the place of you holding me tight. I've got steam heat. I've got steam heat. I've got steam heat. But I need your love to keep away the cold. They told me to throw some more coal in the boiler. They told me to throw some more coal in the boiler. They told me to throw some more coal in the boiler. But that don't do no good. They told me to pour some more oil in the burner. They told me to pour some more oil in the burner. They told me to pour some more oil in the burner. But that don't do no good. Coal in the boiler. No good. Oil in the burner. No good. Cold? No! Hot? Yes! yes yes yes come on union get hot!! I need your love to keep away the cold. I need you love to keep away the cold yea!

Steam Heat

Ella Fitzgerald

All of me, why not take all of me? Baby, can't you see I'm no good without you? Take my lips, I'll never use them Take my arms, I want to lose them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry Tell me how can I go on, dear, without you? You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me? All of me, why not take all of me? Can't you see I'm no good without you? Take my lips, I want to lose 'em Take my arms, I'll never use them Your g-g-goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I go on, dear, without you? You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me? Come on and take, take all of me

All of Me [*]

Ella Fitzgerald

My heart is sad and lonely For you I pine, for you dear only Why haven`t you seen it? I`m all for you, body and soul I spend my days in longing And wondering why it`s me you`re wronging I tell you I mean it I`m all for you, body and soul I can`t believe it, it`s hard to conceive it That you`d turn away romance. Are you pretending? It looks like the ending Unless I can have Just one more chance, dear My life a wreck you`re making My heart is yours for just the taking I`ll gladly surrender Myself to you, body and soul

Body and Soul

Ella Fitzgerald

Call me darlin', call me sweetheart, call me dear Thrill me, darlin', with words I want to hear In your dark eyes so smilin' a promise I see But your two lips won't say you care for me Oh my darlin', if my daydreams would come true You would meet me at a secret rendezvous And I'd find the paradise that lies deep in your eyes Call me darlin', call me sweetheart, call me dear

Call Me Darling [*]

Ella Fitzgerald

Darn that dream I dream each night You say you love me and hold me tight But when I awake and you're out of sight Oh, darn that dream Darn your lips and darn your eyes They lift me high above the moonlit sky Then I tumble out of paradise Oh, darn that dream Darn that one-track mind of mine I can't understand that you don't care Just to change the mood I'm in I'd welcome a nice old nightmare Darn that dream and bless it too Without that dream I never have you But it haunts me and it won't come true Oh, darn that dream

Darn That Dream

Ella Fitzgerald

Georgia, Georgia The whole day through Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind I'm say Georgia, Georgia A song of you Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you I said Georgia Oh Georgia, no peace I find Just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you Georgia, Georgia No peace, no peace I find Just this old, sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind I said just an old sweet song Keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia on My Mind

Ella Fitzgerald

I've flown around the world in a plane I've settled revolutions in Spain The North Pole I have charted, but I can't get Started with you Around the golf course I'm under par And all the movies want me to star I've got a house, a show place, but I get no Place with you You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you Scheme, just for a sight of you Dream, both day and night of you And what good does it do? In 1929 I sold short In England I'm presented at court But you've got me downhearted, cause I can't get Started with you You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you Scheme, just for a sight of you Dream, both day and night of you And what good does it do?

I Can't Get Started

Ella Fitzgerald

Imagination is funny It makes a cloudy day sunny Makes a bee think of honey Just as I think of you Imagination is crazy Your whole perspective gets hazy Starts you asking a daisy What to do, what to do? Have you ever felt A gentle touch and then a kiss And then and then Find it's only your imagination again? Oh, well Imagination is silly You go around willy-nilly For example I go around wanting you And yet I can't imagine that you want me too

Imagination

Ella Fitzgerald

Heart and soul took control Took control of me Paid my dues, spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down, turned me 'round Turned me round to see Marble halls, open doors Someone found the key And it's only what you do That keeps coming back on you And it's only what you say That can give yourself away Underground sight and sound Human symphony Heard the voice, had no choice Needed to be free Fly me high, touch the sky Left the earth below Heard the line, saw the sign Knew which way to go 'Cause it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh, it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh, it's a blue world Heart and soul took control Took control of me Paid my dues, spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down, turned me 'round Turned me 'round to see Marble halls, open doors Someone found the key And it's only what you do That keeps coming back on you And it's only what you say That can give yourself away 'Cause it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh, it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh, it's a blue world It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh, it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh, it's a blue world

It's a Blue World

Ella Fitzgerald

It's a pity to say goodnight Because I never saw stars so bright But if gotta go home, you gotta go home Give me a goodnight kiss It's a pity to say farewell Because the man in the moon won't tell But if gotta go home, you gotta go home Give me a goodnight kiss How's about tomorrow night just you and me? I'll be waiting for you darling Underneath the apple tree It's a pity to say goodnight Because I want you to hold me tight But if gotta go home, you gotta go home Give me a goodnight kiss

It's a Pity to Say Goodnight

Ella Fitzgerald

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me. I'm not much to look at, nothing to see Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be I got a woman crazy for me She's funny that way. I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent I got a woman crazy for me She's funny that way. Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day She'd be so much better off if I went away. But why should I leave her, why should I go She'd be unhappy without me I know I got a woman crazy for me She's funny that way. She should have the very best, Anyone can see Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me. While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true. Never had nothin'; no one to care That's why I seem to have more than my share, I got a woman, crazy for me, She's funny that way. When I hurt her feelings, once in a while, Her only answer is one little smile, I got a woman crazy for me. She's funny that way. I can see no other way and no better plan, End it all and let her go to some better man; But I'm only human, coward at best I'm more than certain she'd follow me west, I got a woman crazy for me, She's funny that way.

She's Funny That Way

Ella Fitzgerald

Midnight, you heavy laden, it's midnight Come on and trade in your old dreams for new Your new dreams for old I know where they're bought I know where they're sold Midnight, you've got to get there at midnight And you'll be met there by others like you Brothers as blue Smiling on the street of dreams Love laughs at a king Kings don't mean a thing On the street of dreams Dreams broken in two can be made like new On the street of dreams Gold, sliver and gold All you can hold is in the moonbeams Poor, no one is poor Long as love is sure On the street of dreams Midnight, look at the steeple, it's midnight Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy It's ringing with cheer 'Cause yesterday's gone Tomorrow is near Midnight, the heart is lighter at midnight Things will be brighter the moment you find More of your kind Smiling on the street of dreams Love laughs at a king Kings don't mean a thing On the street of dreams Dreams broken in two can be made like new On the street of dreams Gold, sliver and gold All you can hold is in the moonbeams Poor, no one is poor Long as love is sure On the street of dreams

Street of Dreams

Ella Fitzgerald

The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above Its just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above Its just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love

The Very Thought of You

Ella Fitzgerald

Before I met you no one attracted me No love thoughts worried or distracted me My disposition kept exempting me Until you started in preempting me And all this while, you've really been tempting me Maybe you can tell me what we ought to do Now that you've got me going, what you gonna do? Is it up to me? Is it up to you? What kind of game is this we've begun? Was it done, just for fun? We have necked, till I'm wrecked Won't you tell me what you expect? Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell? Folly and farewell Heaven or maybe hell Which is it going to be, love or gin? Wife or sin? Let's begin (bridge) We have necked, till I'm wrecked Won't you tell me what you expect? Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell? Folly and farewell Heaven or maybe hell Which is it going to be, love or gin? Wife or sin? Let's begin

Let's Begin

Ella Fitzgerald

Turn off that charm I'm through with love for awhile I'm through and yet, you have a fabulous smile So if I forget Remind me Not to find you so attractive Remind me That the world is full of men When I start to miss you To touch your hand To kiss you Remind me To count to ten I had a feeling when I met you You'd drive me crazy if I let you But all my efforts to forget you Remind me I'm in love again I get my heart, well in hand, and I'm certain That I can take you, or leave you alone Then you begin that beguine again And boom, I give in , again I have a will made of steel, my friend But when it seems about to bend Remind me Not to mention that I love you Remind me To be sorry that we met Although I adore you Remind me to ignore you You're one thing I will regret So when your charm begins to blind me I'll simply tie my hands behind me Don't let me kiss you please, remind me Unless, my darling, you forget

Remind Me

Ella Fitzgerald

She didn't say yes She didn't say no She didn't say stay She didn't say go She only knew that he had spied her there And then she knew he sat beside her there At first there was heard not one little word Then coyly she took one sly little look And something awoke and smiled inside Her heart began beating wild inside So what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too She didn't say yes She didn't say no They very soon stood beside his chateau They lingered like two poor waifs outside For well she knew `twas only safe outside In there it was warm, out there it was cold The sleet and the storm said, "Better be bold" She murmured, "I'm not afraid of ice, I only wish that I was made of ice" So what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too She didn't say yes She didn't say no She wanted to stay But knew she should go She wasn't so sure that he'd be good She wasn't even sure that she'd be good She wanted to rest All cuddled and pressed A palpable part of somebody's heart She'd love to be on rapport with him But not behind a bolted door with him And what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too She didn't say yes She didn't say no For heaven was near She wanted it so Above her sweet love was beckoning And yet she knew there'd be a reckoning She wanted to climb But dreaded to fall So bided her time And clung to the wall She wanted to act ad libitum But feared to lose her equilibrium So what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too

She Didn't Say Yes

Ella Fitzgerald

Some day, when I'm awfully low, When the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight. Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft, There is nothing for me but to love you, And the way you look tonight. With each word your tenderness grows, Tearing my fear apart And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, It touches my foolish heart. Lovely Never, ever change. Keep that breathless charm. Won't you please arrange it ? 'Cause I love you Just the way you look tonight. Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm, Just the way you look to-night.

The Way You Look Tonight

Ella Fitzgerald

You couldn't be cuter Plus that You couldn't be smarter Plus that Intelligent face You have a disgrace Full charm For me You couldn't be keener You look so fresh from the cleaner You are the little grand slam I'll take to my fam- Ily My ma will show you an album of me that'll bore you to tears And you'll attract all the relatives we have dodged for years and years And what will they tell me? Exactly, what will they tell me Let's say you couldn't be nicer Couldn't be sweeter Couldn't be better Couldn't be smoother Couldn't be cuter, baby, than you are My ma will show you an album of me that'll bore you to tears And you'll attract all the relatives we have dodged for years and years And what will they tell me? I know just what they will tell me They'll say you couldn't be nicer Couldn't be sweeter Couldn't be better Couldn't be smoother Couldn't be cuter, baby, than you are

You Couldn't Be Cuter

Ella Fitzgerald

She didn't say yes She didn't say no She didn't say stay She didn't say go She only knew that he had spied her there And then she knew he sat beside her there At first there was heard not one little word Then coyly she took one sly little look And something awoke and smiled inside Her heart began beating wild inside So what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too She didn't say yes She didn't say no They very soon stood beside his chateau They lingered like two poor waifs outside For well she knew 'twas only safe outside In there it was warm, out there it was cold The sleet and the storm said better be bold She murmured, "I'm not afraid of ice I only wish that I was made of ice" So what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too She didn't say yes She didn't say no She wanted to stay But knew she should go She wasn't so sure that he'd be good She wasn't even sure that she'd be good She wanted to rest All cuddled and pressed A palpable part of somebody's heart She'd love to be on rapport with him But not behind a bolted door with him And what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too She didn't say yes She didn't say no For heaven was near She wanted it so Above her sweet love was beckoning And yet she knew there'd be a reckoning She wanted to climb But dreaded to fall So bided her time And clung to the wall She wanted to act ad libitum But feared to lose her equilibrium So what did she do? I leave it to you She did just what you'd do too

She Didn't Say "Yes"

Ella Fitzgerald

Trouble in mind, I'm blue But I won't be blue always, 'Cause that sun is gonna shine in my back door someday Now all you men's the same But now I'm old enough to change my name Lord, that sun's gonna shine in my back door someday I'm gonna lay my head On that lonesome railroad line And let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind Trouble in mind, I'm blue, But I won't be blue always Child, that wind's gonna come and blow my blues away!

Oh, how I love him But he just doesn't see Tall and tan and young and handsome The boy from Ipanema goes walking And when he passes Each girl he passes goes, ah When he walks He's like a samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle That when he passes each girl He passes goes, ah Oh, but I watch him so sadly How can I tell him I love him? Yes, I would give my heart gladly But each day When he walks to the sea He looks straight ahead, not at me Tall and tan and young and handsome The boy from Ipanema goes walking And when he passes goes, ah I smile, but he doesn't see (doesn't see) He just doesn't see; he never sees me

Every honey bee fills with jealousy When they see you out with me Goodness knows You're my honeysuckle rose When you're passin' by, flowers droop and sigh And I know the reason why Goodness knows You're my honeysuckle rose Don't buy sugar You just have to touch my cup You're my sugar It's sweeter when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips Goodness knows You're my honeysuckle rose Goodness knows You're my honeysuckle rose Don't buy sugar You just have to touch my cup You're my sugar It's sweeter when you stir it up When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips Seems the honey fairly drips Goodness knows You're my honeysuckle rose

Somewhere in the night, chasing shadows around the bend Somewhere in the night, chasing rainbows that have no end In the misty night, you are mine and you hold me tight But dreams have a way of calling it a day My dreams have past, they seldom last But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till day is through And somewhere in the night, till I find you Somewhere in the night, chasing shadows around the bend Somewhere in the night, chasing rainbows that have no end In the misty night, you are mine and you hold me tight But dreams have a way of calling it a day My dreams have past, they seldom last But in my lonely flight, I'll keep searching till day is through And somewhere in the night, till I find you

Somewhere in the Night

Ella Fitzgerald

Rustling of the leaves used to be my lullaby In the sunny South when I was a tot so high And now that I have grown And myself alone Cradle me where Southern skies Can watch me with a million eyes Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the leaves Cover me with Heaven's blue And let me dream a dream or two Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the leaves I'm breezing along, along with the breeze I'm hearing a song, a song through the trees Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh That fine melody caressing the shore Familiar to me, I've heard it before Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's Southland Don't I feel it in my soul And don't I know I've reached my goal Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the leaves

Lullaby of the Leaves

Waking skies At Sunrise Every sunset too Seems to be Bringing me Memories of you Here and there Everywhere Scenes that we once knew And they all Just recall Memories of you How I wish I could forget Those happy yesteryears That have left a rosary of tears Your face beams In my dreams Spite of all I do Everything Seems to bring Memories of you How I wish I could forget Those happy yesteryears That have left a rosary of tears Your face beams In my dreams Spite of all I do Everything Seems to bring Memories All those memories of you

Memories of You

Ella Fitzgerald

The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear Are still inside my head The kindest words I'll ever know Are waiting to be said The most entrancing sight of all Is yet for me to see And the dearest love in all the world Is waiting somewhere for me Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear Are still inside my head The kindest words I'll ever know Are waiting to be said The most entrancing sight of all Is yet for me to see And the dearest love in all the world Is waiting somewhere for me Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear Are still inside my head The kindest words I'll ever hear The kindest words I'll ever hear Are waiting to be said The most entrancing sight of all Is yet for me to see The most entrancing sight of all Is yet for me to see And the dearest love in all the world Is waiting somewhere for me Waiting somewhere Is waiting somewhere

The Sweetest Sounds

Ella Fitzgerald

Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears But you and I have our love always there to remind us There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh! Let's fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of Where lovers enjoy peace of mind Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind Just like birds of a feather a rainbow together we'll find Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh! No wonder my happy heart sings Your love has given me wings Your love has given me wings

Volare

Ella Fitzgerald

When an early autumn walks the land and chills the breeze And touches with her hand the summer trees, Perhaps you'll understand what memories I own. There's a dance pavilion in the rain all shuttered down, A winding country lane all russet brown, A frosty window pane shows me a town grown lonely. That spring of ours that started so April-hearted, Seemed made for just a boy and girl. I never dreamed, did you, any fall would come in view So early, early. Darling if you care, please, let me know, I'll meet you anywhere, I miss you so. Let's never have to share another early autumn.

Early Autumn

Ella Fitzgerald

You're just too marvelous Too marvelous for words Like glorious, glamorous And that old standby amorous It's all too wonderful I'll never find the words That say enough, tell enough I mean they just aren't swell enough You're much too much, and just too very very To ever be, in Webster's dictionary And so, I'm borrowing a love song from the birds To tell you that you're marvelous Too marvelous for words You're much too much, and just too very very To ever be, in Webster's dictionary And so, I'm borrowing a love song from the birds To tell you that you're marvelous Too marvelous for words

Too Marvelous for Words

Ella Fitzgerald

Maybe he's not much, just another man Doing what he can But what does she care When a woman loves a man? She'll just string along All through thick and thin Till his ship comes in It's always that way When a woman love a man She'll be the first one to praise him When he's goin' strong The last one to blame him When everything's wrong It's such a one-sided game that they play But women are funny that way Tell her she's a fool She'll say, "yes, I know" But I love him so And that's how it goes When a woman loves a man Tell her she's a fool She'll say, "yes, I know" But I love him so And that's how if goes

When a Woman Loves a Man

Ella Fitzgerald

Passion flower Sent from the blue above You're a flower of love Passion flower Free as a star in flight Laughing through the night Your lips keep taunting me Not wanting me Yet haunting me Each day Stay with me My passion flower You are all I'm dreaming of Passion flower of love Passion flower of love

Passion Flower

Ella Fitzgerald

[Chorus] It's been a hard day's night And I've been working like a dog It's been a hard day's night I should be sleeping like a log But when I get home to you I find the things that you do Will make me feel all right You know I work all day To get you money to buy you things And it's worth it just to hear you say You're going to give me everything So why on earth should I moan? 'Cause when I get you alone You know I feel okay When I'm home, everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah [Chorus] So why on earth should I moan? 'Cause when I get you alone You know I feel okay When I'm home, everything seems to be right When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah [Chorus] You know I feel all right You know I feel all right

Walk Right In

Ella Fitzgerald

Heaven I'm in Heaven And my heart beats So that I can hardly speak And I seem to find The happiness I seek When we're out together Dancing cheek to cheek Heaven I'm in heaven And the cares That hung around me Through the week Seem to vanish Like a gambler's Lucky streak When we're out together Dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And to reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill me Half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half As much as dancing Cheek to cheek Dance with me I want my arm about you That charm about you Will carry me through to Heaven I'm in heaven And my heart beats So that I can hardly speak And I seem to find That happiness I seek When we're out together Swinging cheek to cheek Come on and dance with me I want my arm about you That charm about you Will carry me through Right up to Heaven I'm in heaven And my heart beats So that I can hardly speak And I seem to find That happiness I seek When we're out Together dancing Out together dancing Out together dancing Cheek to cheek

Cheek to Cheek (With Louis Armstrong)

Ella Fitzgerald

There are many, many crazy things That will keep me loving you And with your permission May I list a few? The way you wear your hat The way you sip your tea The memory of all that No, they can't take that away from me The way your smile just beams The way you sing off key The way you haunt my dreams No, they can't take that away from me We may never never meet again On that bumpy road to love But I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife The way we danced till three The way you changed my life No, they can't take that away from me

They Cant Take That Away from Me (With Louis Armstrong)

Ella Fitzgerald

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, oh abide with me I need Thy presence every passing hour What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine Lord abide with me Hold thou Thy cross before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death oh Lord abide with me

Abide with Me

Ella Fitzgerald

Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do Do not wait to shed your light afar To the many duties ever near you now be true Brighten the corner where you are Brighten the corner where you are Brighten the corner where you are Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar Brighten the corner where you are Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear Let not narrow self your way debar Though into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer Brighten the corner where you are Here for all your talent you may surely find a need Here reflect the bright and Morning Star Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed Brighten the corner where you are

Brighten the Corner (Where You Are)

O Holy Night

Ella Fitzgerald

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth. And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth. Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

It's getting near dawn When lights close their tired eyes I'll soon be with you my love To give you my dawn surprise I'll be with you darling soon I'll be with you when the stars start falling I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going There, in the sunshine of your love I'm with you my love The light's shining through on you Yes, I'm with you my love It's the morning and just we two I'll stay with you darling now I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going There in the sunshine of your love I'm with you my love The light's shining through on you Yes, I'm with you my love It's the morning and just we two I'll stay with you darling now I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going There, in the sunshine of your love

Sunshine of Your Love

Ella Fitzgerald

You see this girl This girl's in love with you Yes, I'm in love Who looks at you the way I do? When you smile, I can tell We know each other very well How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you 'cause I've heard some talk They say you think I'm fine This girl's in love And what I'd do to make you mine Tell me now, is it so? Don't let me be the last to know My hands are shakin' Don't let my heart keep breaking 'Cause I need your love I want your love Say you're in love and you'll be my guy If not, I'll just die Tell me now, is it so? Don't let me be the last to know My hands are shakin' Don't let my heart keep breaking 'Cause I need your love I want your love Say you're in love And you'll be my guy If not, I'll just die

This Girl's in Love With You

Ella Fitzgerald

A woman gets all the blame For everything that happens under the sun But when it comes to being bad A woman's not the only one Trouble is a man A man who loves me no more, no more Trouble is a man A man I'll always adore Nothing good to say about him Still, I hate a day without him Why should he have to be The one, my only? Trouble is a man A man who's handsome and tall, so tall Trouble is a man Who's for himself and that's all After all we've done, he didn't mean it Now I understand--I should have seen it Trouble is a man Trouble is a man Trouble, trouble

Trouble Is a Man

Ella Fitzgerald

Let someone start believing in you; let him hold out his hand Let him touch you and watch what happens Someone who can look in your eyes and see into your heart Let him find you and watch what happens Cold, no, I won't believe your heart is cold Maybe just afraid to be broken again Let someone with a deep love to give Give that deep love to you and what magic you'll see Let someone with a deep love to give Give that deep love to you and what magic you'll see Let someone give his heart, someone who cares like me Let someone give his heart who cares like me

Watch What Happens

Ella Fitzgerald

Why do birds suddenly appear Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close to you Why do stars fall down from the sky Every time you walk by? Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you On the day that you were born, the angels got together And decided to create a dream come true So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold And starlight in your eyes of blue That is why all the girls in town Follow you all around Just like me, they long to be Close to you Just like me they long to be Close to you I've only just began to live close to you

Close to You

Ella Fitzgerald

Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand Put a little love in your heart You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate Put a little love in your heart And the world will be a better place And the world will be a better place for you and me You just wait and see Another day goes by, and still the children cry Put a little love in your heart If you want the world to know, we won't let hatred grow Put a little love in your heart And the world will be a better place And the world will be a better place for you and me You just wait and see. Wait and see Take a good look around and if you're lookin' down Put a little love in your heart I hope when you decide kindness will be your guide Put a little love in your heart And the world will be a better place And the world will be a better place for you and me You just wait and see Put a little love in your heart Put a little love in your heart

Put a Little Love in Your Heart

Ella Fitzgerald

Something in the way he moves Attracts me like no other lover Something in the way that he woos me Don't want to leave him now Better believe, and how Somewhere in his smile he knows I don't need no other lover Something in his style that shows me Don't want to leave him now Better believe, and how You're asking me, will my love grow? Well, I don't know, no, I don't know You stick around, Jack; it might show I don't know, no, I don't know Something in the way he knows All I gotta do is just think of him Something in the things that he shows me Don't want to leave him now Better believe, and how You're asking me will my love grow I don't know, no, I don't know But you hang around, Jack, it might show I don't know, no, I don't know Something in the way he knows me And all I gotta do is just think of him Something in those things that he shows me Don't want to leave him now Better believe, and how I don't plan to leave him now

Something

Ella Fitzgerald

I hate to see that evening sun go down, I hate to see that evening sun go down, 'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town. If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today, I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway. Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings, She pulls my man around by her apron strings. And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair, Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere. I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me. I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie, Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord. I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord! That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me. I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea, Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord!

St. Louis Blues

Ella Fitzgerald

I love the looks of you The lure of you The sweet of you The pure of you The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you The east, west, north, and the south of you I'd love to gain complete control of you And handle even the heart and soul of you So love at least a small percent of me, do For I love all of you I'd love to gain complete control of you And handle even the heart and soul of you So love at least a small percent of me, do For I love all of you

All of You

Ella Fitzgerald

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock? Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock? Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy? Or is what I feel the real McCoy? Is it for all-time or simply a lark? Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park? Is it a fancy not worth thinking of? Or is it at long last love? Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock? Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock? Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy? Or is what I feel the real McCoy? Is it for all-time or simply a lark? Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park? Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of? Or is it at long, long, long last love?

At Long Last Love

Ella Fitzgerald

With a million neon rainbows burning below me And a million blazing taxis raising a roar Here I sit, above the town In my pet-palliated gown Down in the depths Of the ninetieth floor While the crowds in all the nightclubs punish the parquet And the bars are packed with couples calling for more I'm deserted and depressed In my regal-eagle nest Down in the depths Of the ninetieth floor When the only one you wanted wants another What's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore? Why, even the janitor's wife Has a perfectly good love life And here I am, facing tomorrow Alone in my sorrow Down in the depths Of the ninetieth floor

Down in the Depths

Ella Fitzgerald

My story is much too sad to be told But practically everything leaves me totally cold The only exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree Fighting vainly the old ennui And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face I get no kick from champagne Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me, why should it be true That I get a kick out of you? Some get a kick from cocaine I'm sure that if I took even one sniff That would bore me terrifically too But I get a kick out of you I get a kick every time I see You're standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to me You obviously don't adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some guy in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do Yet I get a kick out of you I get a kick every time I see You standing there before me I get a kick though it's clear to me You obviously don't adore me I get no kick in a plane Flying too high with some guy in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do Yet I get a kick out of you I get a kick out of you

I Get a Kick Out of You

Ella Fitzgerald

When the only sound in the empty street Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet That belongs to a lonesome cop I open shop When the moon so long has been gazing down On the wayward ways of this wayward town That her smile becomes a smirk I go to work Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale Love that`s fresh and still unspoiled Love that`s only slightly soiled Love for sale Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply? Who`s prepared to pay the price For a trip to paradise? Love for sale Let the poets pipe of love In their childish way I know every type of love Better far than they If you want the thrill of love I`ve been through the mill of love Old love, new love Every love but true love, love for sale Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares Follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale Let the poets pipe of love In their childish way I know every type of love Better far than they If you want the thrill of love I`ve been through the mill of love Old love, new love Every love but true love, love for sale Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares Follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale Oh, love for sale Love for sale

Love for Sale

Ella Fitzgerald

I used to fall In love with all Those boys who call On young cuties But now I find I'm all inclined To keep my mind On my duties Since I've begun to share In such a sweet love affair Though I'm in love, I'm not above A date with a duke or a caddie It's just a pose, 'cause my baby knows That my heart belongs to daddy When some good scout, invites me out To dine om some fine fin and haddie My baby's sure, his love is secure Cause my heart belongs to daddy Yes my heart belongs to daddy So I simply couldn't be bad Yes I'm gonna marry daddy Dad If you feel romantic laddy Let me warn you right from the start That my heart belongs to daddy And my daddy belongs to my heart

My Heart Belongs to Daddy

Ella Fitzgerald

My dear, I've a feeling you are So near and yet so far You appear like a radiant star First so near then again so far I just start getting you keen On clinches galore with me When fate steps in on the scene And mops up the floor with me No wonder I'm a bit under par For you're so near and yet so far My condition is only so-so 'Cause whenever I feel you're close, oh You turn out to be, oh, so far I just start getting you keen On clinches galore with me When fate steps in on the scene And mops up the floor with me No wonder I'm a bit under par For you're so near and yet so far My condition is only so-so 'Cause whenever I feel you're close, oh You turn out to be, oh, so far

So Near and Yet So Far

Ella Fitzgerald

Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today, yea Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh, what's going on What's going on Ya, what's going on Ah, what's going on In the mean time Right on, baby Right on Right on Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long Oh, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Oh Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me So you can see What's going on Ya, what's going on Tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on - Uh Right on baby Right on baby

What's Going On [#]

Ella Fitzgerald

Don't tell me about a night in June Or a shady lane beneath the velvet moon Don't tell me, 'cause I want to talk about you. Don't mention that waterfall Or that shady nook where crickets softly call Don't tell me, 'cause I want to talk about you. The moon and the stars, the objects on Mars Are things that we've talked of before But your love for me was the question Your answer throws back heaven's door, so Tell me, your love will be sincere, Then my darling, you needn't ever fear I love you and I want to talk about you. The moon and the stars, the objects on Mars Are things that we've talked of before But your love for me was the question Your answer throws back heaven's door, so Tell me, your love will be sincere, Then my darling, you needn't ever fear I love you and I want to talk about you.

I Want to Talk About You

Ella Fitzgerald

One I loved And I gave so much love to this love It was the world to me Once I cried At the thought I was foolish and proud And let you say goodbye And one day From my infinite sadness you came And brought me love again Now I know That no matter whatever befalls I'll never let you go I will hold you close Make you stay Because love is the saddest thing When it goes away Love is the sad, saddest thing When it goes away And one day From my infinite sadness you came And brought me love again Now I know That no matter whatever befalls I'll never let you go I will hold you close Make you stay Because love is the sad, saddest thing When it goes away

Once I Loved

Ella Fitzgerald

Easy Take love easy, easy easy Never let your feelings show Make it breezy, breezy breezy Easy come and easy go Never smile too brightly brightly When your heart is riding high Let your heart break oh-so slightly When your baby says goodbye That well known flame is mighty hot As all of us have learned So handle it with velvet gloves And you won`t get your fingers burned Take love easy, easy On the free and easy plan And if you can't take it easy Take it easy as you can Take love easy, easy Never let your feelings show Make it breezy, breezy, easy Easy, easy come and easy go Never smile too brightly brightly When your heart is riding high Let your heart break, oh so slightly When your baby says goodbye That well known flame is mighty hot As all of us have learned So handle it, handle it with velvet gloves And you won`t get your fingers burned Take love easy, easy easy On the free and easy plan And if you can`t take it easy Take it easy as you can Take it easy Take it easy Take it easy, take it easy, take it easy, take it easy

Take Love Easy
