What You Want Wid Bess?

What You Want Wid Bess? - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Why do you want bess

She's gettin' ole now

Take a fine young gal

For to satisfy crown

Look at this chest

An' look at these arms you got

You know how it always been with me

These five years I been yo' woman

You could kick me in the street

Then when you wanted me back

You could whistle an' there I was

Back again lickin' yo' hand

There's plenty better lookin' gal than bess

Can't you see I'm with porgy

Now and forever

I am his woman he would die without me

Oh crown won't you let me go

To my man to my man

He is a cripple an' needs my

Love all my love

Why do you want bess

Oh let me go to my man

Why do you want bess
