Ella Fitzgerald
Lullaby Of Birdland (Live At The Cote d’Azur)
(Ella scatting)
Oh, lullaby of birdland that's what I
Always hear when you sigh,
Never in my wordland could there be words to reveal
in a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo, when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you grew tired and just said goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love
Lullaby, Lullaby
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you grew tired and just said goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet then we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love
(Ella scatting)
So sing me to sleep, rock me to sleep
(Ella scatting)
Yep, Birdland!
