One Note Samba (Samba De Uma Nota So) (Album Version)

One Note Samba(Samba De Uma Nota So) (Album Version) - Ella Fitzgerald

This is just a little samba

Built upon a single note

Other notes are bound to follow

But the root is still that note

Now this new note is the consequence

Of the one we've just been through

As I'm bound to be

The unavoidable consequence of you

There's so many people

Who can talk and talk and talk

And just say nothing

Or nearly nothing

I have used up all the scale

I know and at the end

I've come to nothing

I mean nothing

So I come back to my first note

As I come back to you

I will pour into that one note

All the love I feel for you

Any one who wants the whole show

Re mi fa so la ci do

He will find himself with no show

Better play the note you know

So I come back to my first note

I must come back to you

I will pour into that one note

All the love I feel for you

Any one who wants the whole show

Re mi fa so la ci do

He will find himself with no show

Better play the note you know
