Sing Me A Swing Song

Sing Me A Swing Song - Ella Fitzgerald

Give me a song that's robust

Feeling the way I am

Any old band'll go bust

If it ain't got that jam

When a body needs a body

On the ballroom floor

Then a body asks a body

What's a swing band for

Oh baby I don't want you

To croon soft and mellow

Let me warn you in advance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Oh baby I don't want any moon

Bright and yellow

You can have your sweet romance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Mr trombone play some corn

I ain't carin' what note

Mr trumpet grab a horn

Brother give me hot note

Oh baby I don't want

Any tune on a cello

Give the rhythm men a chance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Let me warn you in advance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

You can have your sweet romance just

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Mr trombone play some corn

I ain't carin' what note

Mr trumpet grab a horn

Brother give me hot note

Oh baby I don't want

Any tune on a cello

Give the rhythm men a chance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Ol' chick webb is beatin' it out

Makes me feel like I want to shout

All the boys are ready to prance so

Sing me a swing song and let me dance
