Duke Ellington
In A Mellow Tone
[Verse 1]
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
So go your way
And laugh and play
There's joy unknown
In a mellow tone
[Instrumental Break]
[Scatting]
[Verse 2]
In a mellow tone
With a saxophone
And a slide trombone
Listen to them moan
We're gonna play
The live long day
We'll swing and sway
The only way
[Scatting]
[Outro]
In a mellow tone
