In a Mellow Tone Songtext
von Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

In a mellow tone
Feeling fancy free
And I′m not alone
I've got company

Everything′s ok
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

Just go your way
And laugh and play
There′s joy unknown
In a mellow tone


(scat)
In a mellow tone
(bridge)

In a mellow tone
Feeling fancy free
And I'm not alone
I′ve got company

Everything's ok
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

Just go your way
And laugh and play
There's joy unknown
In a mellow tone
In a mellow tone
In a mellow tone
