Ella Fitzgerald - Day dream
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show
Daydream, I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share
Ella Fitzgerald - Clap yo hands
Gather around, you children.
And we will lose that evil spirit
Called the voodoo.
Nothin' but trouble, if he has found,
If he has found you, children -
But you can chase the hoodoo
Ella Fitzgerald - Change partners
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?
Ella Fitzgerald - Can't halp lovin dat man
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:
Ella Fitzgerald - All Through The Night
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.
Ella Fitzgerald - A woman is a samtime thing
(To Clara)
What, that chile ain't asleep yet? Give him to me.
I'll fix him for you.
(Jake takes the baby from Clara)
Lissen to yo' daddy warn you,
'Fore you start a-travelling,
Ella Fitzgerald - I've Got You Under My Skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself, "This affair never will go so well"
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
Ella Fitzgerald - Bidin my time
'Cause that's the kinda guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' My Time.
Next year, next year,
Somethin's bound to happen;
Ella Fitzgerald - The Way You Look Tonight
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh but, you're charming, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Ella Fitzgerald - By Strauss
Be off with your Irving Berlin
Oh I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter
And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin
How can I be civil when hearing this drivel
It's only for nightclubbin' souses
Oh give me the free 'n' easy waltz that is Vienneasy and
Ella Fitzgerald - Born to be blue
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
Ella Fitzgerald - Between the devil and the deep blue sea
But I hate to lose you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea
I forgive you
'Cause I can't forget you
You've got me in between
1930, Aida Ward-przedst., Cab Calloway & His Orchestra -nagr.
Ella Fitzgerald - Begin the beguine
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green.
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.
1934, June Knight in the Broadway musical Jubilee, Imperial Theatre in New York City
Ella Fitzgerald - Baby won't you please come home
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain, never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Ev'ry hour in the day...you will hear me say
Baby, won't you please come home
Ella Fitzgerald - 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

Ella Fitzgerald - Why Was I Born?
with nothing to do but to live in dreams
that I make up all by myself.
Dreaming that you're beside me,
I picture the prettiest story only to wake up all by myself
What is the good of me by myself?
Why was I born?
Ella Fitzgerald - Sunny
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
Oh, the dark days are done, and the bright days are here,
My sunny one shines so sincere,
Oh, Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.

Ella Fitzgerald - Funny Face
That at heart you're really not so bad
If I add, your funny face appeals to me
Please don't think I've suddenly gone mad
You have all the qualities of Peter Pan
I'd go far before I'd find a sweeter pan
And yet
Ella Fitzgerald - Time After Time
I tell myself I'm so lucky
To be loving you
I'm so lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening
When the day is through
Ella Fitzgerald - Azure
In an azure mood
Stardust gleaming
Through my solitude
Here in my seclusion
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this azure interlude
Ella Fitzgerald - As long as i live
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
Ella Fitzgerald - Arent you kind of glad we did
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse
That had to be obeyed.
Though it seems convention we've been scorning
I'll still not go in mourning
Though my reputation
Ella Fitzgerald - 'S Wonderful
That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,
When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe
I swore then and there, permanent devoshe,
You made all other men seem blah
Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......
's wonderful, 's marvellous
Ella Fitzgerald - Get Thee Behind Me Satan
I want to resist
But the moon is low and I can't say "No"
Get thee behind me
Get thee behind me, Satan
I mustn't be kissed
But the moon is low and I may let go
