I have been going crazy trying to find the lyrics to One O'clock Jump and Fiesta in Blue, both Basie tunes with lyrics by Lambert Hendricks and Ross. If you ever got them, could you forward them to me at [email protected]. Thanks.

Note from Rabid: Still can't find One O'Clock Jump. Transcribed Fiesta in Blue, but need a lot of help because it was hard to hear!

Hello there...

I'm looking for lyrics to a Mal Waldron tune called "Soul Eyes"...or even a vocal cut of that track. I'm pretty sure it has lyrics so I'm just looking around online. Would you be able to suggest/recommend anything?

Thanks

Hi Rabid,
I heard a snippet of a great song today -- was it Ella? Etta? Billie? I'm not sure .. heard it in passing...not sure where... but here are the only lyrics I got:

"I think you're sensational, but I could be wrong...I think you're grand, but I could be wrong..."

That's all I remember!! Can you help me figure out what song this is?
thanks!

ah, great archive you got here. I've been looking like crazy for this song. I'm unsure of its title. I THINK "blue interlude". The lines go "I love you so; Want you to know; that each day you are away is a blue interlude" I think that's how it goes. Anyway, if you could help in anyway, that'd be great.

Hi
I'm studying in jazz vocals and I'm writing to you to let you know that there is actually lyrics on Straight no chaser. Straight up no chaser is the same tune but the lyrics are different and have been recorded on a Carmen McRae album. And the lyrics that you have for it are not complete. I am trying to find the lyrics for the first one and when I do I'll let you know.

Hi there!
I need your help. I am trying to find a song, but I am having no luck.
The sad part is, I only know a little about the song... Ok, here goes...I think it is by Billie Holiday, but I am not sure. I heard it on NPR the other night. The songs goes something like this, "Hold me in your arms, while I dream of your charms....oh baby, rock me to sleep" The chorus has "rock me to sleep" in it. Can you help me? It is driving me nuts!

Hey Rabid!

Great site, I had to spend hours on the internet looking for jazz lyrics before I found your site that had most of the stuff I need. Good job!

I sing jazz a lot and my problem is that I can't find any of the lyrics to Ella's and Ellington's CD- Ella at Duke's Place. There are some great songs there and it seems like no one recognizes them. "Imagine my Frustration", "A flower is a lovesome thing" are amazing and there are more....
If you can help, it'll be great.
Thanks a lot,

Sohpie

Note from Rabid: Imagine my frustration is on the site now, still looking for A Flower is a lovesome thing.

The song I want is called, I think, "Wonderful You." A recording of it by Johnny Hartman is burning inside my brain, but I can't find it on CD anywhere. He does it uptempo, and the hook is, "I'll tie a lover's knot around wonderful you." He makes it sound so, well, carnal!

Lyrics, anyone?

Thank you so much for this shower singer's goldmine. I get so cross when I have to resort to the doobeedoos . . . .

There is a song that I have heard on the radio that I really like and would
like to buy the CD for it. The trouble is that I can't catch the lyrics so I
don't know the title and the radio station doesn't give the names of the
songs it plays. It has very interesting key and tonal changes throughout the
song. It is done in the style of the Manhattan Transfer, perhaps by them. The
only words I can make out is "...where the sun's always smiling" then seven
beats, and then, I think "Far a - way. I realize that this is very little to

Dear Rabid Squirrel,

My friend/relative Marilyn in New Orleans needs the Lyrics
to "Round Midnight", and I tried to get them from your site,
but when I clicked in the Round Midnight link, the answer
came back "file not found". COuld you send them to the 2
email addresses that are cc'd in the top of this letter?
I sang this in college, and have tried looking this up, but
different sites have variations on these lyrics. I know
Thelonious Monk wrote this tune with Cootie Williams and
that Bertie Hanighen wrote the lyrics. This is all of "my "
version that I have:

It begins to tell, round midnight midnight
I do pretty well, till half past sunlight
Suppertime I'm feelin' sad...
But it really gets bad round midnight.

(then a second verse, and this next is all I have of the
3rd...)

Let our hearts take wing, round midnight midnight
Let the angel sing, for your returning.....

That's all I have, and my version scans better than the
other versions I have seen on the web. Any help you could
give would be great. Thanks so much.

Dear Rabid,

Please credit Jack Segal and Marvin Fisher, the writers of "When Sunny Gets Blue", if you are going to post their lyrics. (They did work pretty hard to get something that great.) Technically, you should list ASCAP as the affiliation, so anyone can check all the legitimate credits.

Thanks! (Can't help it, I'm a staunch defender of Intellectual Property Rights. Why is it that when someone builds a building, no one complains about paying rent to use it, but when a writer builds a song, everyone thinks it should be free to not only enjoy on the ears, but utilize later when/however they want?) :) I believe in sharing the good stuff... but with credit where it's due.

Happy to find your site, but it can't easily help me with my question. There's a song that I and others are trying to identify. The song was used in a recent movie but even the movie's producer doesn't know what the song is. Here's all we know about the song:

Piano, slow, torch song, sounds a lot like Eartha Kitt.

Some lyrics that we can make out:
"It was a beautiful sight
Your kiss was a flame
not the spark that somehow dies..."
"...as real as all those tears I cried"
"...each time I wake
Knowing that you're not here
But what can I do?"
"... time disappears..."
"... funny how things..."

If you or anyone can give any pointers at all, even a decent GUESS, I'd be extremely appreciative.

Of course, the reason your site can't easily help is because I don't know the name of the song!

Dear Rabid Squirrel,

I am writing you just to see if you can possibly help me. Great selections of songs, by the way. A while back I was cruising about town listening to a 'jazz lunch' on the radio. They played this great song, I'm assuming not too recently recorded, and I obviously got the name of the CD wrong. I could have SWORN they DJ stated it could be found on the movie soundtrack titled 'Lost in Harrah's' with Sinbad. No, I wasn't drinking :) This movie doesn't exist.. so this obviously means I might never find the song.

I am at a loss as to how to explain it to you, but I'll try. If I remember correctly, it is a man singing? VERY foot tapping awesome song. He? sings about how if you have a cold, you can take medicine... if you're cold you can get a coat... but you can't do anything about love? Or something like that? Does this make any sense at all? Something about love sneaks up on you, maybe? It was about a month ago so I'm quickly forgetting it :) But, if you have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried searches, but, get nothing. So, you seem to have a vast knowledge of jazz, I thought you might have
an idea.

I appreciate your time :)
Have a stunning weekend,
Sincerely,
Lorraine Arbuckle

Hi Rabid,
Do you know the title/ singer of the song which has the chorus: "Was I drunk?, Was he handsome?, And did my Ma give me hell." It is sung by a female in an old Jazz style. I would appreciate it greatly. I can be emailed on [email protected]
