Duke Ellington - Things Ain't What They Used To Be [II] [Theme] Lyrics

Lyrics Things Ain't What They Used To Be [II] [Theme] - Duke Ellington



Got so weary of bein' nothin',
Felt so dreary just doin' nothin'
Didn't care ever gettin' nothin', felt so low
Now my eyes on the far horizon can see a glow
Announcin' things ain't what they used to be.
No use bein' a doubtin' Thomas,
No ignorin' that rosy promise;
Now I know there's a happy story yet to come.
It's the dawn of a day of glory: millennium
I tell you things ain't what they used to be.



Writer(s): Ellington Mercer, Persons Ted
