재즈 보컬계의 전설 엘라 피츠제럴드의 모든 것이 담겨있는 앨범. 재즈 그 자체이며 보컬의 모든 것이라 표현 될 수 있는 그녀의 음성은 재즈의 넉넉함과 다채로움을 아우른다. 루이 암스트롱을 만나기 전까지의 그녀만의 순수함과 열정으로 가득찬 시기의 본 앨범은 3장의 CD에 넉넉히 담긴 그녀의 주옥같은 60곡으로 재즈 보컬의 교과서가 곧 엘라 피츠제럴드 라는 공식을 여실히 증명한다.
A-tisket A-tasket A brown and yellow basket I send a letter to my mommy On the way I dropped it I dropped it I dropped it Yes on the way I dropped it A little girlie picked it up And put it in her pocket SHE WAS TRUCKIN ON DOWN THE AVENUE Not a single thing to do She went peck peck pecking all around When she spied it on the ground She took it She took it My little yellow basket And if she doesn't bring it back I think that I will die
A-tisket A-tasket I lost my yellow basket And if the girlie don't return it Don't know know what I'll do
Oh dear I wonder where my basket can be (So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we) Oh gee I wish that little girl I could see (So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine? That itty bitty basket was a joy of mine!
A-tisket A-tasket I lost my yellow basket Won't someone help me find my basket And make me happy again? (Was it green?) No, no, no, no (Was it red?) No, no, no, no (Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket A little yellow basket
We're sitting out here on the runway, Waiting for the plane to leave, And the captain says, "There'll be a short delay, Bear with me please,"
They gave us the usual hassle, "You can't take those guitars on board," But the boys in the band just smiled, Heard it all before,
And as they're starting to serve champagne, To the folks at the front of the plane, I can hear the engines roaring, we're on our way, And we are flying home, I feel the freedom in my soul, Flying home at last; Flying home, I've got the freedom in my soul, And it's four in the morning, My world is calling, Speeding through the universe tonight... The movie reminds of my lady, As she waits, "where are those guys?" Yes it's nice to see old Butch and Sundance in the sky,
And now the sun is beginning to rise, It's like looking down on Paradise, There's a ball of fire that's burning, giving life, And we are flying home, I feel the freedom in my soul, Flying home at last; Flying home, I've got the freedom in my soul, And it's four in the morning, My world is calling, Speeding through the universe tonight...
I don't want French fried potatoes, Red ripe tomatoes, I'm never satisfied. I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay With chafafa on the side.
I don't want pork chops and bacon, That won't awaken My appetite inside. I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay With chafafa on the side.
Now a persons really got to eat And a person should eat right. Five will get you ten I'm gonna feed myself right tonight.
I don't want fish cakes and rye bread, You heard what I said. Waiter, please serve mine fried I want the frim fram sauce with the Ausen fay With chafafa on the side.

Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music It's where you are Somewhere there's heaven How near, how far The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon
How high the moon is the name of this song How high the moon Though the words may be wrong We're singing it Because you ask for it So we're swinging it just for you
How high the moon Does it touch the stars How high the moon Does it reach up to Mars Though the words may be wrong to this song We're asking how high, high, high high, high is the moon

I Got A Guy Chick Webb & his Orchestra v Ella Fitzgerald (1937)
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
I'm feeling mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and watch the door And in between I drink Black Coffee Love's a hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room
I'm talking to the shadows 1 o'clock to 4 And Lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour Black Coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dream's too dry
Now a man is born to go a lovin' A woman's born to weep and fret To stay at home and tend her oven And drown her past regrets In coffee and cigarettes
I'm moody all the morning Mourning all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much hard to fight Black Coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's driving me crazy just waiting for my baby To maybe come around
My nerves have gone to pieces My hair is turning gray All I do is drink black coffee Since my man's gone away
Goodnight my love, the tired old moon is descending, Goodnight my love, my moment with you now is ending. It was so heavenly, holding you close to me, It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream, The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow, Til then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem, So for the present dear, we'll have to part, Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love, Remember that you're my sweetheart.
Petootie Pie, Petootie Pie You're my Petootie, sugar fruity, dreamy pie I crave and cram your special jam You underrated, solidated superman
And every gal who passes Just looks and hollers 'ooh' Like flies caught in molasses They all get stuck on you
Petootie Pie, Petootie Pie You're such a tasty hunk of pastry, me oh my Gotta light the oven, gonna cook a dish of lovin' So kiss me, oh my Petootie Pie
You're my, my, my Petootie Pie
We'll count to seven One, two, three, four, five, six, seven Then steal away to Heaven Come on darling, let's go
So kiss me, ah, and kiss me What, again? So kiss me, oh my Petootie Pie You're my Petootie Pie
Out on the plains down near Santa Fe I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day And as he jogged along I heard him singin' A most peculiar cowboy song It was a ditty, he learned in the city Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah
Now get along, get hip little DOGIES Get along, better be on your way Get along, get hip little DOGIES AND He trucked 'em on down that old fairway Singin' his Cow Cow Boogie in the strangest way Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah
(Chorus)
Singin' his cowboy songs He's just too much He's got a knocked out western accent with a HARLEM touch He was raised on LOCO WEED He's what you call a swing half breed Singin' his Cow Cow Booogie in the strangest way Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah
(CHORUS)
Singin' his cowboy songs He's just too much He's got a knocked out western accent with a HARLEM touch THAT CAT was raised on LOCO WEED JACK, He's what you call a swing half breed Singin' his Cow Cow BOOGIE in the strangest way Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah Comma ti yi yi yeah Comma ti yippity yi yeah GIT, GIT, GIT ALONG LITTLE DOGIES, YOU BETTER BE ON YOUR WAY
