Thou Swell (No. 1) Songtext
von Count Basie and His Orchestra

Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty, wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I′d feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand Would you kiss me pretty, would you hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too and what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I′d feel so rich in a hut for two
Just two rooms and a kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me just a plot of not a lot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, oh, kiss me pretty
Thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
