Organ Grinder's Swing - Original

Organ Grinder's Swing - Ella Fitzgerald

Now eenie meenie minie moe

Catch that monkey by the toe

If he hollers let him go

Eenie meenie minie moe

Scatty ah pa swings it so does ma

Scatty ah ma swings it so does pa

Scatty ah you swing it so do I

Scatty ah I swing it so do you

When he turns that handle down

Music goes around n' around

Everybody starts to sing

To that organ grinder's swing

Tra la pa swings it so does ma

Tra la ma swings it so does pa

Tra la you swing it so do I

Tra la I swing it so do you

Now all the children tag along

Just to listen to his song

Monkey dancing on a string

To the organ grinder's swing

Oh hum oh hum

Oh hum oh hum

I swing it so do you

Drop a nickle in his hat

Like a rich aristocrat

Every nickle that you fling

Makes that organ grinder swing

Hi ho hi ho

Hi ho hi ho

I swing it so do you

Oh organ oh organ

Eenie meenie minie moe

Catch that monkey by the toe

This music makes me want to sing

Oh you organ grinder's swing
