The Greatest There Is Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

My man he sends me, I don′t know how far
My man he sends me, I don't know how far
With ooh yeah, ooh yeah, and a ooh, bop-a-dah

What he′s putting down, he never learned in school
What he's putting down, he never learned in school
Drive a good woman crazy, kill a fool

He's little and cute, wears a draped silk suit
Got great big bulging eyes
He′s little and cute, wears a draped silk suit
Got great big bulging eyes
And he does all the things, that Tarzan only tries


Now he′s built like a bomber, as a fighter he's fine
He takes off at loving like a B-29
And he flies, oh, go, go, go, yes, oh yes, he′s a whiz
'Cause he′s the greatest, he's the greatest that there is

Now he was born in the city, raised on a farm
Comes on like Superman, takes off like the atom bomb
And he′s fine, woo, oh, oh, he's a whiz

'Cause I say, he′s the greatest
He′s the greatest
He's a character
He′s the greatest, I say
Woo, he's the greatest that there is
