Count Basie

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. His mother first taught him piano and he started performing in his teens. Dropping out of school, he learned to operate lights for vaudeville and improvised to accompany silent films at a local theatre in his town of Red Bank, New Jersey. By 16, he increasingly played jazz piano at parties, resorts and other venues. In 1924, he went to Harlem, where his performing career expanded; he toured with groups to the major jazz cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. In 1929 he joined Bennie Moten's band in Kansas City, and played with them until Moten's death in 1935. more »

Gee it's cosy in the park tonight
When you cuddle up and hold me tight,
Stars above, they seem to know
We're puttin' on the late late show!

Hear the crazy music in the trees,
See the flowers dancin' in the breeze,
Old man moon begins to glow,
He's joinin' in the late late show!

Birds that should be dreamin'
Start in chirpin' a song.
While fireflies are gleamin',
We kiss, ooh, kiss, ooh, all night long!

Then we amble back to my front door,
Say goodnight and then we kiss some more!
Guess you know I like you so,
It started at the late late show!

It's so cosy in the park tonight

See the flowers dancin' in the breeze,
Old man moon begins to glow,
He's joinin' in the late late show!

Birds that should be dreamin'
Start in chirpin' a song.
While fireflies are gleamin',
We kiss, ooh, kiss, ooh, all night long!

Then we amble back to my front door,
Say goodnight and then we kiss some more!
Guess you know I like you so,
It started at the late, late, late, late, late, late,
At the late late show!
