Lady Be Good Songtext
von Sheila Jordan

Oh sweet lovely lady be good
Oh lady, lady, lady, lady, lady
Lady be good to me
Can′t you see that I am so awfully misunderstood
Oh lady, oh lady, oh lady, oh lady
Won't you be good to me
Cause I′m all alone in this big city of Montreal, Canada
Won't somebody please, please have a little pity on me
I tell you I'm, I′m just a lonesome babe in the wood
So lady luck, lady luck, lady luck
Roll the dice and be good to me
Well I remember I was this kid in Detroit, Michigan
Trying to sing with Ella singing lady
Be good, lady be good, lady be good
Was I really kidding? Nobody in this World could scat like Ella Fitzgerald
And so I use this song to honor the first lady of jazz
Ella Fitzgerald, Ella Fitzgerald, Ella Fitzgerald, Ella Fitzgerald
Thank you very, very, very, very, very much
But I ain′t gonna scat that fast, no way, no how
Oh yeah, please
Can't you see I′m all alone in this big city
Won't you please have a little pity
I just have to say
Ella Fitzgerald, Ella Fitzgerald
I′ll never forget that day
Cause you were the first lady of jazz
And you were so good to me
Can't you see
