Ella Fitzgerald - The Early Years Part1.2 (1997) by Ella Fitzgerald (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'll chase the blues away,
I'll laugh and sing all day,
I've found my lover,
someone who could do.

The bluebirds in the tree
Will sing their song to me,
For they'll discover I'm no longer blue.

I've travelled far
In search of someone like you,
For what you are
Is the dream that I've prayed
would soon come true.

I'll chase the blues away,
I'll print some news today,
I've found my lover,
someone who'll be true.

First you say you do
And then you don't
And then you say you will
And then you won't
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?

Now you want to play
And then it's no
And when you say you'll stay
That's when you go
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?

I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it

Then you promise to return
When you don't I really burn
Well, i guess i'll never learn
And i show it

If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?

I've been sitting on a fence
And it doesn't make much sense
'cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it

Then you promise to return
When you don't I really burn
Well, i guess i'll never learn
And i show it

If you've got a heart
And if you're kind
Then don't keep us apart
Make up your mind
You're undecided now
So what are you gonna do?

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

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
No no I can't imagine
that you want me, too

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too

Life's really worth living
When we are mirth-giving
Why can't I give some to you?

When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too

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
Da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad
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

The dipsy doodle is the thing to beware
The dipsy doodle will get in your hair
And if it gets you, it couldn't be worse
The things you say will come out in reverse
Like "You love I and me love you!"
That's the way the dipsy doodle works.
You can't eat, you can't sleep. You go crazy.
You're just a victim of the dipsy doodle
And it's not your mind that's hazy
It's your heart that's at fault not your noodle.
You better listen and try to be good
And try to do all the things that you should
The dipsy doodle will get you some day
And when it gets you the things you will say
Like the moon jumped over the cow hey diddle!
That's the way the dipsy doodle works.

Shake down the stars,
pull down the clouds,
Turn off the moon, do it soon,
I can't enjoy the night without you,
Shake down the stars.

Dry up the streams,
stop all my dreams,
Cut off the breeze, do it please,
I never thought I'd cry about you,
Shake down the stars.

I gave you my arms,
my lips, my heart,
My love, my life, my all,

But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small.
Crush every rose, hush every pray'r,
Break every vow, do it now,
I know I cannot live without you,
Shake down the stars.

But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small.
Crush every rose, hush every pray'r,
Break every vow, do it now,
I know I cannot live without you,
Shake down the stars.

My fur-coat’s sold
Oh, lord ain’t it cold
But I’m not gonna holler
’cause I’ve still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oooo I get high

My man walked out
Now you know that ain’t right
He better watch out
If I meet him tonight
I said when I get low
Oooo I get high

All the hard times in this
town has found me
Nobody knows
but the troubles are all around me
Ooooo

I’m all alone
With noone to pet me
My old rocking chair
Ain’t never gonna get me
cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

Wheeen iii geeet looow
Oooo Iiiii I get hiiigh

Give me a song that's robust
Feeling the way I am
Any old band'll go bust
If it ain't got that jam

When a body needs a body
On the ballroom floor
Then a body asks a body
"What's a swing band for?"

Oh baby, I don't want you
To croon soft and mellow
Let me warn you in advance,
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Oh baby, I don't want
Any moon, bright and yellow
You can have your sweet romance
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Mr. Trombone, play some corn
I ain't carin' what notes
Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn
Brother, give me hot notes

Oh baby, I don't want
Any tune, on a cello
Give the rhythm men a chance
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

instrumental interlude

Let me warn you in advance,
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

You can have your sweet romance, just
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Mr. Trombone, play some corn
I ain't carin' what notes
Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn
Brother, give me hot notes

Oh baby, I don't want
Any tune, on a cello
Give the rhythm men a chance
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Ol' Chick Webb is beatin' it out
Makes me feel like I want to shout
All the boys are ready to prance, so
Sing me a swing song and let me dance

The five o'clock
whistle's on the blink,
The whistle won't blow
and whadd'ya think?
My pop is still in the factory
'cause he don't know
What time it happens to be.

The five o'clock
whistle didn't blow
The whistle is broke
and whadda'ya know?
If somebody don't find
out what's wrong
Oh, my pop'll be workin'
all night long,

Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle?
Won't somebody fix the whistle?
Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle?
So my poor old pop will know
It's time for him to stop

Ya ought to hear
what my mommy said,
When papa came home
and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked till
half past two
'Cause the five o'clock
whistle never blew.

Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle?
Won't somebody fix the whistle?
Oh! Who's gonna fix the whistle?
So my poor old pop will know
It's time for him to stop

Ya ought to hear
what my mommy said,
When papa came home
and sneaked into bed
And told her he worked till
half past two
'Cause the five o'clock
whistle never blew.

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But Now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on loveHere I slip again
About to take that tip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the grove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Till you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as apple pie
Never noticed the rain
Till you came by.

But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through, i feel somehow
I was doing all right
But i'm doing better than ever now.

But now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tinglin' all through, i feel somehow

But i'm doing better
Better than ever now.

I betcha, a nickel
I bet you I win
I betcha, a nickel
That you will give in

What'sa matter honey?
'Fraid you'll lose?
Do what you wanna
And say what you choose

I still betcha, a nickel
That you will be mine
I betcha, a nickel
Even raise it a dime

I always win my money
You can bet on that
I always take a tip
And keep it under my hat

You've got yourself to yourself
Come on, get off that shelf
You can fool some of the people some of the time
But you can't fool all the people all of the time

That's why I betcha, a nickel
That you will be mine
I betcha, you'll sign on, the dotted line
I don't see no sense in wasting all this time
Cause whatever you bet, your bet is gonna be mine

You've got yourself to yourself
Come on, get off that shelf
You can fool some of the people some of the time
But you can't fool all the people all of the time

(we betcha, a penny, we ain't got a dime)
Say that ain't no money, you're wastin' my time
I don't see no sense in all this rhythm and rhyme
Cause whatever you bet, your bet is gonna be mine

Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With Love beside us
To fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drifting along.

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hills?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven
To climb to heaven with you

Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
Yes we're climbing
Climbing to that stairway to the stars
Stars, stars, stars
The sound of violins
Way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drift drift drifting along

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hills?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Keep building the stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven
Heaven to climb with you.

A-tisket a-tasket
A green-and-yellow basket
I bought a basket for my mommie
On the way I dropped itI dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And took it to the marketShe was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the groundA-tisket a-tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die(Was it red?) No, no, no, no
(Was it brown?) No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket

I want the waiter
With the water
I want the waiter with the water
for my daughter

I want the waiter with the water
for my daughter
cause my daughter has an order
for some water on the tray

He's got a menu
That'll send you
He's got a menu that'll send you
and befriend you

He's got a menu that'll send you
and befriend you
maybe lend you if you
help me find the waiter with the tray

While my daughter was having
lunch one day
She caught the waiter's eye
He took one look at her,
then ran away
Now she's bothered by her
thirst unless I find that guy

I want the waiter
With the water
I want the waiter with the water
for my daughter

Don't want the butcher or the baker
or the candlestickle maker
Want the waiter
with the water on the tray

She wants the waiter
With the water
She wants the waiter with the water
for her daughter
Don't want the butcher or the baker
or the candlestickle maker
Want the waiter
with the water on the tray

Three little words,
oh what I'd give for that wonderful phrase,
To hear those three little words,
that's all I'd live for
the rest of my days.

And what I feel in my heart,
they tell sincerely.
No other words can tell it half so clearly.

Three little words,
eight little letters which simply mean
I love you.

Three little words,
eight little letters which simply mean
I love you.

You came to me from out of nowhere,
you took my heart and found it free.
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere
made every hour sweet as a flower for me.

If you should go back to your nowhere,
leaving me with a memory,
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere,
hoping you'll bring your love to me.

Now eenie meenie minie moe
Catch that monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eenie meenie minie moe

Scatty-ah, pa swings it so does ma
Scatty-ah, ma swings it so does pa
Scatty-ah, you swing it so do I
Scatty-ah, I swing it so do you

When he turns that handle down
Music goes around 'n' around
Everybody starts to sing
To that organ grinder's swing

Tra-la, pa swings it so does ma
Tra-la, ma swings it so does pa
Tra-la, you swing it so do I
Tra-la, I swing it so do you

Now all the children tag along
Just to listen to his song
Monkey dancing on a string
To the organ grinder's swing

Oh-hum
Oh-hum
Oh-hum
Oh-hum, I swing it so do you

Drop a nickle in his hat
Like a rich aristocrat
Every nickle that you fling
Makes that organ grinder swing

Hi-ho
Hi-ho
Hi-ho
Hi-ho, I swing it so do you

Eenie meenie minie moe
Catch that monkey by the toe
This music makes me want to sing
Oh you organ grinder's swing

Oh do you know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Do you know the Muffin Man
Who dwells in Drury Lane
Oh, yes, I know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Yes, I know the Muffin Man
Who dwells in Drury Lane.

He's never in a hurry
Never has a worry
Bringin' joy to everyone
Then he knows his work is done
Oh, you should know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
You should know the Muffin Man
Who dwells in Drury Lane.

Oh, yes, I know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
Yes, I know the Muffin Man
Who dwells in Drury Lane.

Never has a worry
Bringin' joy to everyone
Then he knows his work is done
Oh, you should know the Muffin Man
The Muffin Man, the Muffin Man
You should know the Muffin Man
Who dwells in Drury Lane.

Ev'rybody step
To the syncopated rhythm
Let's be going with 'em
When they begin

You'll be saying, yes sir
The band is grand
He's the best professor
In all the land

Listen to the pep
That emerges from the middle
Of the jazzy fiddle
Under his chin

Oh, what music
The clarineter
Could not be better
Hear that strain
I don't know just what it is but it's great
They simply ruin it
Look at 'em doin' it
Come, come don't hesitate

Ev'rybody step
If you want to see a glutton
When it comes to struttin'
Over the ground

Wait'll you see
My little sweetie and me
Step, step, stepping around

They call it wacky dust
It's from a hot cornet
It gives your feet a feeling so breezy
And oh, it's so easy to get

They call it wacky dust
It brings a dancing jag
And once it starts, then only a
Sap'll refuse to Big Apple or Shag

Oh I don't know just why
It gets you so high
Putting a buzz in you heart
You'll do a marathon
You'll wanna go on
Kickin' the ceilin' apart

They call it wacky dust
It's something you can't trust
And in the end the rhythm will stop
When it does, then you'll drop
From happy wacky dust

Love here in the starlit hour
Oh, heaven is in your eyes
While the wind is sobbing
Underneath the stars
Both our hearts are throbbing
Like two guitars

Love here in the starlit hour
Night whispering lullabies
Let me dream forever
Underneath the silvery skies

Will it be just as sweet again,
The glamor, the glory that we know
Will I find when we meet again
The glamor, the glory?s still a glow

But tonight let us forget tomorrow
Here under the midnight blue
Love will bloom and flower
In the starlit hour with you

The way he should
’cause I got it bad,
and that ain’t good

My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad,
and that ain’t good

But when the weekend’s over
And monday rolls around
My man and me,
We pray some,
We gin some
And sin some

He don’t love me
Like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad, and that ain’t good

Now folks with good intentions
Tell me to save my tears
I’m glad I’m mad about him
I can’t live without him

Lord above me,
Make him love me
The way he should

Like a lonesome weeping willow
Lost in the wood
The way I hug my pillow
No woman should
Because I got it bad,
and that ain’t good

I got a guy
He don't dress me in sable
He looks nothing like Gable
But he's mine
And I think he's too divine

I got a guy
When he starts into pet me
He's the sauce on spaghetti
He's the kind
that you can't keep off you mind

I got a guy
And he's tough
He's just a gem in the rough
But when I polish him up
I swear, he'll be a Tiffany solitaire

I'm riding high
'Cos I'm happy and carefree
There is nothing can scare me
'Cos I got a guy

I got a guy
And he's tough
He's just a gem in the rough
But when I polish him up
I swear, he'll be a Tiffany solitaire

I'm riding high
'Cos I'm happy and carefree
There is nothing can scare me
'Cos I got a guy

Oh listen, sister,
I love my mister man,
And I can't tell yo' why,
Dere ain't no reason
Why I should love dat man.
It must be sumpin' dat de angels done plan.Refrain:Fish got to swim, birds got to fly,
I got to love one man till I die.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow,
Tell me I'm crazy (maybe I know).
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
When he goes away
Dat's a rainy day,
But when he comes back dat day is fine,
De sun will shine!
He kin come home as late as kin be,
Home widout him ain't no home to me.
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.
~~~
My man is shif'less
An' good for nuthin' too
(He's mah man jes' de same)He's never round here
When dere is work to do.
He's never round here when dere's workin' to do.
De chimbley's smokin',
De roof is leakin' in,
But he don't seem to care.
He kin be happy
Wid jes' a sip of gin.
Ah even love him when his kisses got gin!
Refrain
