Текст песни Sing Me a Swing Song (Live) - Ella Fitzgerald

Give me a song that's robust
Feeling the way I am
Any old band'll go bust
If it ain't got that jam
When a body needs a body
On the ballroom floor
Then a body asks a body
"What's a swing band for?"
Oh baby, I don't want you
To croon soft and mellow
Let me warn you in advance,
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
Oh baby, I don't want
Any moon, bright and yellow
You can have your sweet romance
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
Mr. Trombone, play some corn
I ain't carin' what notes
Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn
Brother, give me hot notes
Oh baby, I don't want
Any tune, on a cello
Give the rhythm men a chance
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
Instrumental interlude
Let me warn you in advance,
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
You can have your sweet romance, just
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
Mr. Trombone, play some corn
I ain't carin' what notes
Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn
Brother, give me hot notes
Oh baby, I don't want
Any tune, on a cello
Give the rhythm men a chance
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
Ol' Chick Webb is beatin' it out
Makes me feel like I want to shout
All the boys are ready to prance, so
Sing Me A Swing Song and let me dance
