[Chorus]
In a mellow tone, feeling fancy free
And I'm not alone, I've got company
Everything's okay, the live long day
With this mellow song I can't go wrong
In a mellow tone, that's the way to live
If you mope and groan, something's gotta give
Just go your way and laugh and play
There's joy unknown in a mellow tone

(Scat)
In a mellow tone

[Tenor sax solo: Ben Webster]

[Chorus]
In a mellow tone, feeling fancy free
And I'm not alone, I've got company
Everything's okay, the live long day
With this mellow song I can't go wrong
In a mellow tone, that's the way to live
If you mope and groan, something's gotta give
Just go your way and laugh and play
There's joy unknown in a mellow tone
In a mellow tone, in a mellow tone
