What You Want Wid Bess?

What You Want Wid Bess - Ella Fitzgerald

What 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

What do you want Bess

Oh let me go to my man

What do you want Bess
