Two Young Lovers

I saw two lovers walking along the sandy shore Her tiny hand was locked in his, two hearts beatin' a chord Two young lovers like you and I With young love that just won't die They stopped to pick a pebble, each one must make a wish They cast them out into the blue and sealed it with a kiss They stood beneath an elmtree, carved initials in a heart And pledged to undying love, which only death could part Two young lovers like you and I With young love that just won't die Just won't die, will not die, never die

10538 Overture

/e/electric+light+orchestra/10538+overture_20045420.html

Did you see your friend, crying from his eyes today? Did you see him run through the streets and far way? Did you see him run? Did you see him fall? Did his life flash by on the bedroom door? Did you hear the news came across the air today? Someone has been found on the rocks down in the bay. Did you see him hide? Did you see him crawl? Does his life mean more than it did before. Did you see that man running through the streets today? Did you catch his face, was it 10538?

21St Century Man

/e/electric+light+orchestra/21st+century+man_20045465.html

A penny in your pocket Suitcase in your hand They won't get you very far Now you're a 21st century man. Fly across the city Rise above the land You can do 'most anything Now you're a 21st century man. Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow You still wander the fields of your sorrow One day you're a hero Next day you're a clown There's nothing that is in between Now you're a 21st century man. You should be so happy You should be so glad So why are you so lonely You 21st century man You stepped out of a dream believing Everything was gone Return with what you've learned They'll kiss the ground you walk upon. Things ain't how you thought they were Nothing have you planned So pick up your penny and your suitcase You're not a 21st century man. Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow You still wander the fields of your sorrow 21st century man

Seems like forever and time left to spare When I look out the window And still you're not there You're a long time gone Such a long time gone Tearing down memories bitter and sweet Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone You're a long time gone Do I wonder why Every day that I Think about you still And I always will Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye You're a long time gone, long time gone Such a long time gone, long time gone You're a long time gone Do I wonder why Every day that I Think about you still And I always will You're a long time gone Did so much for me Now I think I see This I do believe Feels more like a dream You're a long time gone Do I wonder why You're a long time gone You never did I never said goodbye You're a long time gone

Caught in the heat of the night. There when things ain't goin right No, no, no, you will remember me... I came along to see your face, But the only thing I got from you, Was telling me it's fantasy, That you would always be with me, I can tell you that it's true I'm waiting here, But it's alright It's alright with me, You better believe me now. I guess it's like a mountain side, You gotta climb it to the top, Floating in a sea of dreams The only thing that you can see Is the view above the clouds. I'm waiting here, But it's alright, Still it's alright with me, You better believe me now.

In the land they call the west On the praries virgin crest Lived a great man and his braves And he led them to their graves Big chief plays with baby son The work of the indian today is done Life is easy, life is grand Til there is white man, gun in hand Started out when settlers came And built theirhomes on the indian range Big chief woolly bosher liked it none Traded with a bad man for a gun Big chief looks out at his great land Locomotive on the prairie stands Life that leak from the city in the east Let us destroy that iron beast Big chief rides on the trail tonight Tread the land for which he must fight In their fight for love and glory Some indians were saved They lived to tell the story And woolly bosher prays Big chief rides on the trail tonight Soldier boys marching in the morning light Bring the guns, bring the bows Lets blow them into heaven lets see if God knows One hundred men must have to die When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye Big chief sees his men fall round The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds In their fight for love and glory No indians were saved And big chief woolly bosher Had written on his grave He has done no wrong Except being bold

Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning, turning, Turning, turning... I remember the dead of night A lonely light that shines upon the window I see it all so clear The tenderness, the silent tears Out here in the pouring rain Through cold dark waiting days I see you standing there I see the big wheels turning Never ending, on and on they go. I think I'm going home I think I'm gonna have to start again It's rather sad Because I've looked around, can't seem to find Whatever's always rolling through my mind Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning Baby I know Big wheels turning, turning Turning, turning... I remember the dead of night A lonely light that shines upon the window I see it all so clear The tenderness, the silent tears Out here in the pouring rain Through cold dark waiting days I see you standing there I see the big wheels turning Never ending, on and on they go.

Midnight, on the water I saw the ocean's daughter Walking on a wave she came Staring as she called my name And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Breakdown on the shoreline Can't move, it's an ebbtide Morning, don't get here tonight Searching for her silver light And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Bank job in the city Robin Hood and William Tell And Ivanhoe and Lancelot They don't envy me Sitting 'til the sun goes down In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head

Do Ya

/e/electric+light+orchestra/do+ya_20045333.html

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman I've seen lovers flying through the air Hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen kings and queens from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides And I've seen pigs all sitting watching Picture slides But I never seen nothin' like you. [Chorus] Do ya want my love Do ya want my face Do ya want my mind Do ya want my love Well I heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang auld lang syne by the light Of the moon I heard the preacher bangin' on the drums And I heard the police playin' with their guns But I never heard nothing like you In the country where the sky touches down On the field she lay her down to rest In the morning sun They come a runnin' just to get a look just to Feel to touch her long black hair they don't Give a damn [Chorus] Well I think you know what I'm trying to say Woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know That i've got to get it all to get it all to grow [Chorus]

Why do I say, don't walk away You'll be the way your were before When you don't want me anymore Don't turn around, don't ever leave A lonely room where empty days Are gathering to meet me when you're gone- Gone- how in the world will I go on (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) [Chorus] Don't walk away, don't say goodbye Don't turn around, don't let it die When shadows fall, when day is done All through the night, all of my life Don't walk away Is it a dream, when will it end When everything we've ever known Has ended and I'm all alone Where will I go, where will I be The feelings that I've never shown Maybe I'll find the answer when you're gone- Gone- how in the world will I go on (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) all you gotta do is stay (Don't walk away) [Chorus]

Dreaming Of 4000

/e/electric+light+orchestra/dreaming+of+4000_20045431.html

Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven While the world sat back and laughed away the hours Till the dawning of the daybreak I heard them laugh I heard them cry I saw them praying to the sky I heard the wind howl in the trees Down there on bended knee And I see the light But I know I must be dreaming Feel the soul, quiet emotion Sail on by, helpless devotion If that's how it feels, it better be real Take care of your woman Or you'll never ever see the light Take heed of the warnin' Or you know it's gonna be too late Here, there, everywhere They keep on movin' without fear They look me up, they look me down They press my body to the ground But I see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin' And on a summers day When thoughts are drifting far away And life is good and real to see My world is saved and I am free But in the night Still I know I must be dreaming

Summer days, where did you go, You've let me down so bad, Clouds fill the sky, Gone is the dream My happy hunting ground. Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day. But it looks like summer days ain't coming back. March April May, June and July, You took me for a fall. Big chief he lie, Cold wind blows cool, so cold to make you die. Mountain breeze, ocean bay and I never saw a rainy day. But it looks like them summer days ain't coming back. Laredo Tornado, Adios amigos What can you do, when your dream world is gone. And your friends and lovers too. West Winter Street under the ground, The air that makes you choke, Towers of concrete, hellish go-round, Were there when I awoke City sky, pouring down with rain That can never hope to ease the pain. And it looks like summer days ain't coming back. Laredo Tornado Adios amigos. Laredo Tornado Adios amigos.

I don't mind the pain, or the jokers' cold refrain The days pass by so slowly, I count them all again Silence of a basement, shades all closed at noon Lie awake for fear of strangers Darkness comes on slowly, twilight is the ecstasy Like a candle burning bright, shadows dance until the night Empty rooms and chilling smiles They go on for miles and miles But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows got to get into town Where the music is playin' all across the night And every cloud disappears from sight There goes a loser, another loser gone There goes another, another who's alone There goes a loser, another loser gone wild I don't mind if violins don't play I won't listen to them anyway I don't care what people say Some things just can't be arranged Icy fingers touching you Silent voices calling too What else is there to lose I am here but where are you? But in the evening when the sun goes down Crawl from the shadows got to get into town Where the music is playin' all across the night And every cloud disappears from sight

Mission

/e/electric+light+orchestra/mission_10095132.html

For many days we travelled from a distant place and time, To reach a place they call the planet earth, There was to be a celebration, On the mission of the sacred heart. The planet earth from way up there is beautiful and blue And floating softly through a rainbow, But when you touch down things look different here, At the mission of the sacred heart. Chorus Watching all the days roll by Who are you and who am i? On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby, In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow And someone's singing from a window In the mission of the sacred heart. Chorus -- repeat There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land, On a place they call the planet earth, My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by, From the mission of the sacred heart.

/e/ella+fitzgerald/ac+cent+tchu+ate+the+positive_20045662.html

Gather 'round me, everybody Gather 'round me while I preach some Feel a sermon comin' on me The topic will be sin And that's what I'm agin If you want to hear my story Then settle back and just sit tight While I start reviewing The attitude of doing right You got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween You got to spread joy up to the maximum Bring gloom down to the minimum Have faith, or pandemonium Liable to walk upon the scene To illustrate my last remark Jonah in the whale Noah in the ark, What did they do Just when everything looked so dark? Man, they said, we better Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative And latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween Don't, don't mess with mister inbetween To illustrate my last remark Jonah in a whale Noah in the ark, What did they do Just when everything looked so dark? Man, they said, we better Ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive E-lim-i-nate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don't mess with mister inbetween No don't mess with mister inbetween

After You've Gone

After you've gone and left me crying After you've gone, there's no denying You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had There'll come a time, now don't forget it There'll come a time, when you'll regret it Some day when you'll grow lonely Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away After I'm gone, after we break up After I'm gone, you're gonna wake up You will find you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind After the years we've been together Thought joy and tears, all kinds of weather Someday blue and downhearted You'll long to be with me right back where you started After I'm gone, after I'm gone away You will find you were blind To let somebody come and change your mind Someday blue and downhearted You'll long to be with me right back where you started After I'm gone, after I'm gone away You'll feel blue and you'll feel sad You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had Someday when you'll grown lonely Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only After you've gone, after you've gone away You made and blue But now I'm through with you And there's nothing more you can say So jack be on your way, miss Ella?s okay

Air Mail Special

/e/ella+fitzgerald/air+mail+special_21036987.html

Left New York this morning early Traveling south so wide and high Sailing through the wide blue yonder It's that air mail special on the fly Listen to the motors humming She is streaking through the sky Like a bird that's flying homeward It's that air mail special on the fly Over plains and high dark mountains Over rivers deep and wide Carrying mail to California It's that air mail special on the fly Watch her circle for the landing Hear her moan and cough and sigh Now she's coming down the runway It's that air mail special on the fly

Ella Fitzgerald

All The Things You Are

/e/ella+fitzgerald/all+the+things+you+are_20045668.html

I was blue, just as blue as I could be Every day was a cloudy day for me Then good luck came a-knocking at my door Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on I should care if the wind blows east or west I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it can't be true I should smile, that's exactly what I do

Ella Fitzgerald

All Through The Night

/e/ella+fitzgerald/all+through+the+night_20045669.html

The day is my enemy, the night my friend, For I'm always so alone Till the day draws to an end. But when the sun goes down And the moon comes through, To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you. All through the night, I delight in your love, All through the night, you're so close to me. All through the night, from a height far above, You and your love brings me ecstasy. When dawn comes to waken me You're never there at all. I know you've forsaken me, Till the shadows fall. But then once again I can dream, I've the right To be close to you All through the night.

Ella Fitzgerald

Almost Like Being In Love

/e/ella+fitzgerald/almost+like+being+in+love_20805915.html

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 that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love 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 that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love

April In Paris

Ella Fitzgerald

As Long As I Live

/e/ella+fitzgerald/as+long+as+i+live_20045676.html

Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live. Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to, But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live. I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough. That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see the doctor anyway. What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live. I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu, And that would never never do What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.

At Last

I wandered near and far I wished upon a star And darling here you are, at last My guardian angel must have sent you To find me Now I've left the heartaches, behind me Although the road was long I thought that i was strong And now the saddest song is passed In this big world, full of losers The beggars can't be choosers I wished on my star and here you are at last In this big world, full of losers The beggars can't be choosers I wished on my star and here you are at last

Ella Fitzgerald

Blue Room

/e/ella+fitzgerald/blue+room_20045689.html

We'll have a blue room A new room for two room Where every day's a holiday Because you're married to me. Not like a ballroom A small room, a hall room Where I can smoke my pipe away With your wee head upon my knee. We will thrive on, keep alive on Just nothing but kisses With mister and missus On little blue chairs. You sew your trousseau And Robinson Crusoe Is not so far from worldly cares As our blue room far away upstairs!

Ella Fitzgerald

Born To Be Blue

/e/ella+fitzgerald/born+to+be+blue_10096179.html

Some folks were meant to live in clover, But they are such a chosen few And clover being green is something I've never seen Cause I was born to be blue When there's a yellow moon above me, They say there's moonbeams I should view But moonbeams being gold are something I can't behold Cause I was born to be blue When I met you the world was bright and sunny When you left the curtain fell I'd like to laugh but nothing strikes me funny Now my world's a faded pastel Well, I guess I'm luckier than some folks, I've known the thrill of loving you And that alone is more than I was created for Cause I was born to be blue

Ella Fitzgerald

But Not For Me

/e/ella+fitzgerald/but+not+for+me_20045694.html

They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's above, but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi ho, alas, and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi ho, alas, and also lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me

Ella Fitzgerald

By Myself

/e/ella+fitzgerald/by+myself_20801258.html

I'm so unhappy What'll I do? I long for somebody who Will sympathize with me I'm growing so tired of living alone I lie awake all night and cry Nobody loves me That's why All by myself in the morning All by myself in the night I sit alone with a table and a chair So unhappy there Playing solitaire All by myself I get lonely Watching the clock on the shelf I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder I hate to grow older All by myself

Ella Fitzgerald

Change Partners

/e/ella+fitzgerald/change+partners_20045699.html

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man? You have danced with him since the music began. Won't you change partners and dance with me? Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face? Can't you see I'm longing to be in his place? Won't you change partners and dance with me? Ask him to sit this one out. While you're alone, I'll tell the waiter to tell Him he's wanted on the telephone. You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven-knows-when. Won't you change partners and then, You may never want to change partners again.

Ella Fitzgerald

Cheek To Cheek

/e/ella+fitzgerald/cheek+to+cheek_20045700.html

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 Yes, 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'd love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh, I'd 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 Now, mama, dance with me I want my arms about you The charms about you Will carry me through, yes 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 (Sing it, Ella, swing it) 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'd love to climb a mountain And 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 Come on and dance with me I want my arm about you The 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 the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Yes, dance with me I want my arms about you The charms 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 the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek

Drop Me Off In Harlem

/e/ella+fitzgerald/drop+me+off+in+harlem_20045718.html

Drop me off in Harlem Any place in Harlem There's someone waiting there Who makes it seem like Heaven up in Harlem I don't want your Dixie You can keep your Dixie There's no one down in Dixie Who can take me 'way from my hot Harlem Harlem has those southern skies, They're in my baby's smile, I idolize my baby's eyes And classy up-town style If Harlem moved to China, I know of nothing finer, Than to stow away on a 'plane some day And have them drop me off in Harlem Harlem has those southern skies, They're in my baby's smile I idolize my baby's eyes And classy up-town style If Harlem moved to China, I know of nothing finer, Than to stow away on a 'plane some day And have them drop me off in Harlem If Harlem moved to China I know nothing finer than to be in Harlem

Ella Fitzgerald

Early Autumn

/e/ella+fitzgerald/early+autumn_20045719.html

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.

Ella Fitzgerald

Everyone's Wrong But Me

Ella Fitzgerald

Ev'rything I've Got

/e/ella+fitzgerald/evrything+ive+got_20045723.html

Don't stamp your foot at me, It's impolite To stamp your foot at me Is not quite right. At man's ingratitude A woman winks, But such an attitude just stinks. I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks. I have words that do not come from children's books there's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do And everything I've got belongs to you. I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist, And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist. There are hammerlock holds, I've mastered a few, And everything I've got belongs to you. Share for share, share alike, You get struck each time I strike. You for me- me for me- I'll give you plenty of nothing. I'm not yours for better but for worse, And I've learned to give the well-known witches' curse. I've a terrible tongue, a temper for two, And ev'rything I've got belongs to you. Don't raise your voice at me, That's very rude. To raise your voice at me Is rather crude. It's wrong essentially when woman yells, And confidentially, it smells. I'll converse with you on politics at length, I'll protect you with my superhuman strength. If you're ever attacked I'll scream and say , "Boo!'' And everything I've got belongs to you. I will never stray from home, I'll just stay put, Cause I've got a brand-new thing called athlete' s foot. I'm a victim of colds, anemia, too, And everything I've got belongs to you. Off to bed we will creep, Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep Till the birds start to peep. I'll give you plenty of nothing. I'll be yours forever and a day If the first good breeze does not blow me away. You're enough for one man, that's why I'll be true, And everything I've got belongs to you. You may have some things that I can't use at all. When I look at you, your manly gifts are small. I've a wonderful way of saying adieu, And everything I've got belongs to you. You won't know how good I am until you try And you'll let my well of loneliness run dry. I've a marvelous way of telling you no, And everything I've got belongs to you. And everything you want belongs to me! And everything you need belongs to me! Life has no shape or form And no design. It isn't life without That fool of mine. I used to gad about With any chap And now I'm sad about my sap. He's a living thing that isn't quite alive, He has brains enough for any child of five. Oh, he isn't too rich in vigor and vim, But everything I've got belongs to him. He's a naughty brat that can't be left alone. He has eyes for every skirt except my own. Even under a tree, he grabs for the limb, But everything I've got belongs to him. Something beats in his chest, But it's just a pump at best. I'm for him, he's for him. He gives me plenty of nothing. When I see that funny face, I know Something scared his mother twenty years ago. But I'll never let go, he'll never be free! Till everything he's got belongs to me! And everything I've got belongs to him! And everything I've got belongs to us!

Ella Fitzgerald

Fairy Tales

/e/ella+fitzgerald/fairy+tales_20820979.html

Fairy tales were the tales that you told me Fairy tales made me happy as I could be For I had been dreaming of some day But now somehow it's all faded away Fairy tales, like a child I believed you Fairy tales, none of them came true But sometimes in my dreams, I can hear you, it seems Telling me the same old fairy tales Oh, fairy tales were the tales that you told me Fairy tales made me happy as I could be For I had been dreaming of some day But now somehow it's all faded away Fairy tales, like a child I believed you Fairy tales, none of them came true But sometimes in my dreams, I can hear you, it seems Telling me the same old fairy tales Fairy tales, like a child I believed you Fairy tales, none of them came true But sometimes in my dreams, I can hear you, it seems Telling me (Why must you keep on telling me) The same old fairy tales

Ella Fitzgerald

Fascinating Rhythm

/e/ella+fitzgerald/fascinating+rhythm_20045725.html

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm That pit-a-pats through my brain So darn persistent The day isn't distant When it'll drive me insane Comes in the morning Without any warning And hangs around me all day I'll have to sneak up to it Someday, and speak up to it I hope it listens when I say: Fascinating rhythm You've got me on the go! Fascinating rhythm I'm all a-quiver When a mess you're making! The neighbors want to know Why I'm always shaking Just like a flivver Each morning I get up with the sun Start a-hopping Never stopping To find at night no work has been done I know that Once it didn't matter But now you're doing wrong When you start to patter I'm so unhappy Won't you take a day off? Decide to run along Somewhere far away off And make it snappy! Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be! Fascinating rhythm On won't you stop picking on me?

Frosty The Snow Man

/e/ella+fitzgerald/frosty+the+snowman_20045728.html

Frosty the Snowman Was a jolly happy soul With a corncob pipe and a button nose And two eyes made out of coal Frosty the Snowman Is a fairytale they say He was made of snow But the children know How he came to life one day There must have been some magic In that old silk hat they found For when they placed it on his head He began to dance around Frosty the Snowman Was alive as he could be And the children say He could laugh and play Just the same as you and me Frosty the Snowman Knew the sun was hot that day So he said let's run And we'll have some fun Now before I melt away Down to the village With a broomstick in his hand Running here and there all around the square Saying catch me if you can He led them down the streets of town Right to the traffic cop And he only paused a moment when He heard him holler stop Frosty the Snowman Had to hurry on his way But he waved goodbye Saying don't you cry I'll be back again some day Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Look at Frosty go Thumpety thump thump Thumpety thump thump Over the hills of snow

Ella Fitzgerald

I Concentrate On You

/e/ella+fitzgerald/i+concentrate+on+you_20045757.html

Whenever skies look grey to me And trouble begins to brew Whenever the winter winds Begin to blow I concentrate on you When fortune cries nay, nay to me And people declare "you're through" Whenever the blues becomes my only song I concentrate on you On your smile to sweet so tender When first my kiss you deny On the love in your eyes When you surrender And once again our arms intertwine And so when wise men say to me That loves young dreams never come true To prove that even wise men can be wrong I concentrate on you

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 Gotta Right To Sing The Blues

/e/ella+fitzgerald/i+gotta+right+to+sing+the+blues_20045765.html

I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to feel low-down I gotta right to hang around Down around the river A certain gal in this old town Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around All I see, for me is - misery I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to moan and sigh I gotta right to sit and cry Down around the river I know the deep blue sea Will soon be callin' me It must be love - say what you choose I gotta right to sing the blues
