Tribute to Benny Goodman (Medley)

Stompin' at the Savoy

[Intro]
Savoy, Savoy, Savoy, to dance

[Verse]
How my heart is singing
While the band is swinging
I'm never tired of romping
Stomping with you at the Savoy
Savoy, Savoy, Savoy, to dance

Don't Be That Way

[Spoken Intro]
Another great Benny Goodman hit

[Verse]
Don't cry, oh honey, please, don't be that way
Clouds in the sky could never make you be that way
The rain will bring the violets of May
Tears are in vain, baby, please don't be that way

[Bridge]
Long as we see it through
You'll have me and I'll have you

[Outro]
Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart, baby, please, don't be that way

And The Angels Sing

[Spoken Intro]
Now, Ziggy Elman wrote this with lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Great song

[Verse 1]
We meet and the angels sing
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
You speak and the angels sing
Or am I breathing music into every word?

[Bridge]
Suddenly, the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break
On some undiscovered shore

[Verse 2]
Then, then, then, then, suddenly, I see it all change
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming
Through it all your face that I adore
You smile and the angels sing
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start
We kiss and the angels sing
And leave their music ringing in my heart

[Outro]
Here's the way Ziggy played it

[Scatting]

Gotta Be This Or That

[Verse]
If it ain't wrong, you're right
And if it ain't black, it's night (white)
And if it ain't day, it's night
It's gotta be this or that

[Outro]
Goodness me, what can it be
You know it's not your brother
Seems to me it's got to be
One thing or the other

Jersey Bounce

[Verse]
They call it that Jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
The Jersey Bounce'll make you swing

Why Don't You Do Right?

[Verse]
You had plenty money, 1922
You let other people make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other gals do?
Get out of here and get me some money, too

[Outro]
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other gals do?
Get out of here and get me some money, too
Why don't you do right, like the Benny Goodman Sextet?

Air Mail Special

[Scatting]

Avalon

[Verse]
I met my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn
So I think I'll travel on to Avalon

[Scatting]

Sing, Sing, Sing

[Spoken Intro]
And the greatest Benny Goodman hit of all
With Gene Krupa at the drums
Here is "Sing, Sing, Sing"

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
And now, a memory of Judy Garland
One, two, one, two, three...
