Ella Fitzgerald — Exactly Like You

[Intro] Oh, incidentally, ladies and gentlemen We're not doing any requests We're just doing what comes naturally [Verse 1] I know why I've waited I know why I've been blue Prayed each night for someone Exactly like you Why should we spend money On a show or two? For no one does those love scenes Exactly like you [Bridge] You make me feel so grand I wanna give the world to you You seem to understand Each foolish little dream I'm dreaming Scheme I'm scheming [Verse 2] I know why my mother Taught me to be true 'Cause she meant me for someone Exactly like you [Scatting] [Interlude] Lou Levy, ladies and gentlemen, at the piano [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] Play it, Lou [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] Thank you, thank you, Lou Levy How about a hand for Lou Levy? He played for you [Scatting] [Verse 3] I know why I've waited I know why I've been blue I've been waiting for an audience Crazy like you Why should we spend money On a show or two? I could sing all night, I could sing all night For people like you [Bridge] You make me feel so grand Could stand up here and wail all night for you But you must understand That sometimes you It won't come out, the voice won't come out [Scatting] And so you see, and so you see, and so you see Exactly for you [Verse 4] I know why I've waited I know why I've been blue Prayed each night for someone Exactly like you [Scatting] [Bridge] You make me feel so grand I wanna give the world to you Seem to understand Each foolish little dream I'm dreaming [Verse 5] I know why my mother Taught me to be true 'Cause she meant me for someone Exactly like you Exactly like you Exactly like you Exactly like you [Outro] Well, I'm left with the drummer And here we go, here we go, on with the show And everybody knows that I'm trying to say That I love you, I love you, I love you madly And I've been waiting, hoping and badly For an audience exactly like you Thank you
