Mister Meadowlark

Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazz singer, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable. McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record over 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Mr. Meadowlark, we've got an awful lot of serenadin' to do
Mr. Meadowlark, I'm just a city slicker and I'm countin' on you
She's got a country guy who whistles, my whistle's so thin
So when I begin that's where you come in

Mr. Meadowlark, if you should cop a gander when I'm kissin' my chick
Needless to remark, I hope you'll have the decency to exit but quick
If Mrs. M. thinks you're out steppin', I'll make it alright
Mr. Meadowlark, meet me in the dark tonight!
