Patti Austin - For Ella (2002) by Patti Austin (보컬) on maniadb.com

Miss Otis regrets,
She's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets,
She's unable to lunch today

She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down
In lover's lane she strayed, madam
Miss Otis regrets,
She's unable to lunch today

When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray, so far astray

And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and she shot her love down
Yes she did, she shot her, madam
Oh, Miss Otis regrets,
She's unable to lunch today

Oh, when the mob came and got her
You know they dragged her
From the jail, madam
And they strung her upon
The old willow 'cross the way, baby..

Old man sunshine listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me, he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain

I never want to hear
From any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
It's all bananas

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 lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

Cigarette holder which wigs me
over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin' that satin doll.

Baby, shall we go out skippin ?
Careful, amigo, you're flippin',
speaks Latin that satin doll.

She's nobody's fool so I'm playing it cool as can be.
I'll give it a whirl but I ain't for no girl catching me,
swich-e-rooney.

Telephone numbers well you know,
doing my rhumbas with uno
and that'n my satin doll.

Sweet and pure that's for sure
And you'll always know
When you're hearing Ella sing

Cool and hot bobble your back
If you're not grooving then you are not
Hearing Ella sing

She sang with Bing and Frank and Nat
On everything from jazz to scat
You bet your bottom dollar that you want to swing
Hearing Ella sing

Hear that bard then that word
Ain't no sound like the one you've heard
Hearing Ella sing

Hear that throat, bend that note
You'll hear more than the right or wrong
Hearing Ella sing, yeah

With boo, du, bado, yadoo, la, boo, do, bop
She broke all the records at the record shop
And no one's gonna ever stop remembering
Hearing Ella sing

Oh, this old black day is for my Ella
Let it flow, let her know
Man, we can still hear Ella all around us
Ella, Ella we will never let you go

That's for Ella, let it flow, oh, let her know
Oh you know we can, we can, still hear Ella all around us
Come on, come on, come on you gotta let her know
Oh, Miss Fitzgerald we will never let you go
Ella, Ella, oh Ella, we will never let you go
