Ella Fitzgerald — Give a Little Get a Little

[Verse 1] I'm on the beam, I've got a flash On how to live in the civilization To make a dream come out of hash Give a little, get a little love A morning smile, an evening kiss Can be the pills for the ills of the nation Don't cramp your style, remember this Give a little, get a little love [Bridge] No love, no hope Then life's a dungeon, so throw the sponge in With love there's hope Sing hey hallelu' [Verse 2] So take a share and share the fun And keep the cold from this old constellation It's everywhere for everyone Make a little, take a little Take a little, live a little Give a little, get a little love [Verse 3] You carry on, tied in a knot To earn the pay that your neighbor is earning But when it's gone, what have you got? Give a little, get a little love You never think 'till there's a storm And 'til the real things you feel like returning You know that mink won't keep you warm Give a little, get a little love [Bridge] No love, no joy Then life's a nuisance and not worth two cents With love, there's joy Sing hey hallelu' [Verse 4] So take a share and share the fun And keep the cold from this old constellation It's everywhere for everyone Make a little, take a little Take a little, live a little Give a little, get a little love [Outro] No joy, no joy Give a little, get a little Give a little, get a little Make a little, take a little Live a little, give a little Give a little, get a little love
