Lyrics:
swinging
Like count basie, swing on
Like count basie, swing on
Like count basie, swing on
Like count basie, swing on
Swing on, swing out tonight
Hey now
When I hear a band blowin' basie
I can count on losing my cool
Take me where the rhythm is racy
Let me be a dancin' fool
Some prefer the café
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day
His utter charm takes me away
But don't get me wrong, how do you say
I love being here with you
Basie's band a-swinging,
Count
Yes, Sam
This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night
Count
Yes, Sam
This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night
you
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day
His utter charm takes me away
But don't get me wrong, how do you say
I love being here with you
Basie's band
home to her flat
To sleep all day
Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Listen
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day,
His utter charm takes me away.
But don't get me wrong, how do you say,
I love being here with you.
Basie's band
a crowd
Better than anything except being in love
Do you know, being in love
Better than four sets of Dizzy
Better than Count Basie's band
Better
lady when I tell her
The I do indeed love to smell her
Sopping wet your pink umbrella
Do the dog with Isabella
I'm so in love yes with an artist
Hi there, nice to be with you, glad you could stick around.
Like to introduce `Legs' Larry Smith, drums
And Sam Spoons, rhythm pole
And Vernon
the Yankee trade
Only for Americans
The Frenchman gets his kisses free
But those for which there is a fee
Are only for Americans
You'll find two prices
Basie Orchestra on triangle.
[CBO:] (Ting!)
Thank you.
Great to hear the Rawlinsons on trombone.
Back from his recent operation, Dan Druff, harp.
don't sleep tight
Until the dawn
Goodnight, baby
Goodnight, the milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day, hey
and talked about going steady
I've got two hundred records and a big hi-fi
I sit and listen to Ella and Basie all night
I played modern jazz of every
all kinds of weather, as long as we're together
I love to hear you say my name
I like good wine and fine cuisine
And candle light, I like the scene
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
The grabbing hands grab all they can
Everything counts in large amounts
O-P D-O, mothafuckin' double G
The coldest entertainer, gangbanger since Alphonz Capone (say that then)
Count money like Basie, police tryna chase me
O-P D-O, mothafuckin' double G
The coldest entertainer, gangbanger since Alphonz Capone (say that then)
Count money like Basie, police tryna chase me
for a backbone. Then I had a dream about Count Basie but he didn't want to talk to me, he had a lot of hurt in his face he had a copy of LIFE magazine.
to play with Count Basie
That was Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis
My name is Eddie Harris
I've got one of your videos jack
That was Eddie Murphy
My name is
Music is a world within itself
With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
But just
Remember the teachers that was all on my ass
Now look all of them, pitiful
And all of a sudden I'm so good at math
Count it up, count it up, count it
5000 light years from Birdland
But I'm still preachin' the rhythm
Long gone uptight years from Birdland
And I'm still teachin' it with 'em
Years
