Sing Me A Sweet Song 1936

Give me a song that's robust,
feeling the way I am.
Any old band'll go bust.
if it ain't got that jam.
When a body meets a body
on a ball room floor,
then a body asks a body,
what's a swing band for?

Oh! Baby!
I don't want you to croon
soft and mellow,
let me warn you in advance,
sing me a sweet song
and let me dance.
Oh! Baby! I don't want any moon,
bright and yellow,
you can have your sweet romance;
sing me a sweet song
and let me dance.
Mister Trombone play some corn
I ain't carin' what notes;
Mister Trumpet grab a horn
brother give me hot notes!
Oh! Baby!
I don't want any tune
on a 'cello,
Give the rhythm men a chance
sing me a swing song
and let me dance!

Oh! Baby!
I don't want you to croon
soft and mellow,
let me warn you in advance,
sing me a sweet song
and let me dance.
Oh! Baby! I don't want any moon,
bright and yellow,
you can have your sweet romance;
sing me a sweet song
and let me dance.
Mister Trombone play some corn
I ain't carin' what notes;
Mister Trumpet grab a horn
brother give me hot notes!
Oh! Baby!
I don't want any tune
on a 'cello,
Give the rhythm men a chance
sing me a swing song
and let me dance!
