I need an old date, died yesterday,
stop, the red light's on
Stanley, you said that the lady could
play with the world and make it a song
My head was spinning along with your
records I had too much homemade wine
From
Ella
Fitzgerald to
Nina
Simone
You made your music mine
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody start to sing
Scat, scat, scat, scat,
scat, da -da -da -da
Now you're singing with a swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Everybody start to swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Now you're swinging while
you sing
Ah -ha
I took to the stage like a match to a page
I bought every songbook I could find
I was
Wildcat
Kelly in
Don't
Fence
Me
In
Singin'
Cole
Porter and ridin' high
My head was spinnin'
along with the records
I played them just to unwind
From
Hoagie
Carmichael to
Duke
Ellington
I took the
A train to clear up my mind
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody start to sing
Rat -tat -tat -tat -tat -tat -tat
Now you're singin' with a swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Everybody start to swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Now you're swinging while you sing
Betty
Potter on the outside of the fields
You gotta run the red lights
and never yield
Honky horn and improvise
with knives and spoons
Spike
Jones made a masterpiece
out of a car chain
Chet
Baker,
Joan
Coltrane
Straight up on the rocks
with nicotine stains
The
Rat
Pack,
Vegas, and
Keely
Smith
Louie
Bimmer wrote the song, now here it is
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Everybody start to sing
Scat, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Now you're singing with a swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Everybody start to swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing
Now you're swinging while you sing
Ah -ha
I need an old date, died yesterday
