Imagine My Frustration

Imagine My Frustration - Duke Ellington (艾靈頓公爵)/Ella Fitzgerald/Lester Young/Antonio Carlos Jobim (安東尼奧·卡洛斯·裘賓)

I went down to the dance

Sat down by the wall

Invited to dance

By no one at all

The couples danced fine

So charming an' gay

But nobody wants

Look over my way

So awfully sad

Dissatisfied

And hurt so bad

I almost cried

Imagine my frustration

With no invitation to dance

Head high standing tall

Who else who else could I be

But ella the woman and above

Who likes what they see

And then in my ear

Someone said to me

Wallflower my dear

How come you cannot see

They couldn't care less

They're not impressed

As you might guessed

You're in excess

Imagine my frustration

With no invitation to dance

I smiled to the crowd

Tip toe and alert

Yes the band blues went loud

But next on a flirt

A voice said to me

Wallflower my dear

You're sweet as can be

But how come you're here

They couldn't care less

About your dress

You're in a mess

And in excess

Imagine my frustration

With no invitation to dance
