Organ Grinders Swing - Ella Fitzgerald

Now eenie meenie minie moe

Catch that monkey by the toe

If he hollers, let him go

Eenie meenie minie moe

Scatty-ah, pa swings it, so does ma

Scatty-ah, ma swings it, so does pa

Scatty-ah, you swing it, so do I

Scatty-ah, I swing it, so do you

When he turns that handle down

Music goes around n' around

Everybody starts to sing

To that organ grinder’s swing

Tra-la, pa swings it, so does ma

Tra-la, ma swings it, so does pa

Tra-la, you swing it, so do I

Tra-la, I swing it, so do you

Now all the children tag along

Just to listen to his song

Monkey dancing on a string

To the organ grinder’s swing

Oh-hum, oh-hum

Oh-hum, oh-hum

I swing it, so do you

Drop a nickle in his hat

Like a rich aristocrat

Every nickle that you fling

Makes that organ grinder swing

Hi-ho, hi-ho

Hi-ho, hi-ho

I swing it so do you

Oh organ, oh organ

Eenie meenie minie moe

Catch that monkey by the toe

This music makes me want to sing

Oh you organ grinder’s swing
