Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald-A 75Th Birthday Salute (2005) by Ella Fitzgerald (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

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?

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.

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.

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'
The 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 doggies
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little doggies
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)

Now singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a dixie
touch
He was raised on local ways
He's what you call a swingin' half breed
Singin' his Cow Cow Booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

(Repeat Chorus)

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...

As i walk down the street
Seems everyone i meet
Gives me a friendly hello.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and soThe birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly.
They sing wherever i go.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and soIf you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
I'd have to confess that i'm slippin'
But that don't worry me, confidentially
I've got a dream that's a pippin'
And when the day is through
Each night i hurry to
A home where love waits, i know.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and so
And when the day is through
Each night i hurry to
A home where love waits, i know.
I guess i'm just a lucky so and soI'm just a lucky, lucky so and so

I didn't mean a word I said
And if I hurt you, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to lose my head
And if I made you cry, I'm sorry
It was just another foolish quarrel
Won't you end it with a kiss
And just remember this
Except the TIME I said I love you
I didn't mean a word I said

I didn't mean a word I said
And if I hurt you, I'm so so so so so sorry, so so sorry
I didn't mean to lose my head
And if I made you cry, I'm sorry
It was just another foolish quarrel
Won't you end it with a kiss
And just remember this
Except the TIME I said I love you
I didn't mean a word I said

Listen to my tale of woe,
it's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go
Each ev'ning I'm awf'ly blue.
I must win some handsome guy
Can't go on like this,
I could blossom out I know,
With somebody just like you. So...Oh, sweet and lovely lady, be good
Oh, lady, be good to me
I am so awf'ly misunderstood
So lady, be good to meOh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big cityI tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.Oh, please have some pity
I'm all alone in this big cityI tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the wood,
So lady be good to me.Oh lady be good to me.Published lyric furnished by a visitor.

Listen to my tale of woe, it's terribly sad but true,
All dressed up, no place to go

Which somebody just like you. So...Oh sweet and lovely,
Lady be good,

So lady be good....to me.Auburn and brunette and blonde:
I love 'em all, tall or small
But somehow they dont' grow fond;
They stagger but never fall.
Winte'rs gone, and now it's spring!
Love! where is thy sting?
If somebody won't respond,
I'm going to end it all.
So.....Oh sweet and lovely lady, be good.
Oh lady, be

How High the moon - (Nancy Hamilton / Morgan Lewis)

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
How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

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

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

Lullaby of Birdland, that′s what I,

always hear, when you sigh,Never in my wordland could there be ways to reveal

In a phrase, how I feel


*Heard you ever heard two turtle doves, bill and coo,when they love.

That′s the kind of magic music we make we our lips, when we kiss


And there′s a weppy old willow, he really knows how to cry,

That′s how I′d cry on my pillow, if you should tell me farewell and goodbye


lullaby of Birdland,whisper low, kiss me sweet, and we′ll go

Flyin′ high in Birdland, high in the sky up above. all because we′re in love.*(*Repeat)

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up
and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mineThe same old tingle that I feel
inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's
caught in the tideI should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name, and I'm aflame
Aflame with
such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fireYou are the lover that I've waited forThe mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mineBaby down and down I go,
all around I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love

I don't want you
But I hate to lose you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue seaI forgive you
'Cause I can't forget you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue seaI ought to cross you off my list
But when you come a-knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for moreI should hate you
But I guess I love you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea

In old Savannah, I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climates of the southern brand
But here's what I don't understand
They've got a gal there
A pretty gal there
Who's colder than an Arctic storm
Got a heart just like a stone
Even Ice-men leave her alone
They call her hard-hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough
But Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who likes to
See men suffer
To tease them and thrill 'em
Torture and kill 'em
Is her delight they say
I saw her at the seashore
With a great big pan
There was Hannah pouring water
On a drowning man
She's Hard-Hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah GA
They call her hard hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Talk of your cold,
Refrigerating mammas
Brother, she's a polar bear's pajamas
To tease them and thrill 'em
To torture and kill 'em
Is her delight they say
An evening spent with Hannah
Sittin' on her knees
Is like travelin' through Alaska
In your BPT's
She's hard hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah GA
Can you imagine a woman
As cold as Hannah
She's got the right name,
"The Vamp of Savannah"
Any time a woman can take a great big pan
And start pouring water on a drowning man
She's hard hearted Hannah
The vamp of Savannah GASpoken:
Ooh, she's sweet as sour milk!
