An old school jazz standard by
Neal Hefti. Performed by just about everyone that ever sang in a lounge, including everyone from the
Rat Pack,
Bobby Darin,
Count Basie.
Drummers, take note. This is the song for you. If you play jazz, you've probably played it. The song was designed for crazy fills in between each line. Basically, the lyrics are performed in a call and response with the drums.
Most times, the song is actually performed without a vocalist, with a saxophone or trumpet contrasting the melody with the drums.
Mind if I say you're cute?
In every way, you're cute.
Those big blue eyes,
That turned up nose,
That cool and carefree pose.
