Mel Torm — Tribute to Benny Goodman Medley

Stompin' at the Savoy [Intro] Savoy, Savoy, Savoy, to dance [Verse] How my heart is singing While the band is swinging I'm never tired of romping Stomping with you at the Savoy Savoy, Savoy, Savoy, to dance Don't Be That Way [Spoken Intro] Another great Benny Goodman hit [Verse] Don't cry, oh honey, please, don't be that way Clouds in the sky could never make you be that way The rain will bring the violets of May Tears are in vain, baby, please don't be that way [Bridge] Long as we see it through You'll have me and I'll have you [Outro] Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day Don't break my heart, baby, please, don't be that way And The Angels Sing [Spoken Intro] Now, Ziggy Elman wrote this with lyrics by Johnny Mercer Great song [Verse 1] We meet and the angels sing The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard You speak and the angels sing Or am I breathing music into every word? [Bridge] Suddenly, the setting is strange I can see water and moonlight beaming Silver waves that break On some undiscovered shore [Verse 2] Then, then, then, then, suddenly, I see it all change Long winter nights with the candles gleaming Through it all your face that I adore You smile and the angels sing And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start We kiss and the angels sing And leave their music ringing in my heart [Outro] Here's the way Ziggy played it [Scatting] Gotta Be This Or That [Verse] If it ain't wrong, you're right And if it ain't black, it's night (white) And if it ain't day, it's night It's gotta be this or that [Outro] Goodness me, what can it be You know it's not your brother Seems to me it's got to be One thing or the other Jersey Bounce [Verse] They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts The Jersey Bounce'll make you swing Why Don't You Do Right? [Verse] You had plenty money, 1922 You let other people make a fool of you Why don't you do right, like some other gals do? Get out of here and get me some money, too [Outro] If you had prepared twenty years ago You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door Why don't you do right, like some other gals do? Get out of here and get me some money, too Why don't you do right, like the Benny Goodman Sextet? Air Mail Special [Scatting] Avalon [Verse] I met my love in Avalon beside the bay I left my love in Avalon and sailed away I dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn So I think I'll travel on to Avalon [Scatting] Sing, Sing, Sing [Spoken Intro] And the greatest Benny Goodman hit of all With Gene Krupa at the drums Here is "Sing, Sing, Sing" [Instrumental] [Outro] And now, a memory of Judy Garland One, two, one, two, three...
