Ellington: Bli-Blip - Dee Dee Bridgewater, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, John Mauceri

While other lovers sing your praises

In phases deftly lyrical

I’m a cat who’s better at a scat song

That’s satirical

In begging for your hand, sweet chick

I hope you’ll understand this lick

My love to you I bring on account a you can sing

Bli-Blip Varthy Flam flam flam Hipideedleada Baaaaaaaaaaimp

My love for you in true on account a you can do

Bli-Blip Varthy Flam flam flam Hipideedleada Baaaaaaaaaaimp

My poor heart gives a start like a Jitter Bug just won’t stop

Mix your crooning with my spooning and let me blow my top

Your love to me I’ve sworn on account a mine is your’n

Bli-Blip Varthy Flam flam flam Hipideedleada Baaaaaaaaaaimp

My love to you I bring on account a you can sing

Bli-Blip Varthy Flam flam flam Hipideedleada Baaaaaaaaaaimp

My love for you in true on account a you can do

Bli-Blip Varthy Flam flam flam Hipideedleada Baaaaaaaaaaimp

My poor heart gives a start like a Jitter Bug just won’t stop

Mix your crooning with my spooning and let me blow my top

Your love to me I’ve sworn on account a mine is your’n
