Testo In A Mellow Tone

By Duke Ellington/Milt Gabler

In a mellow tone
Feelin' fancy free
And I'm not alone
I've got company
Everything's ok
The live-long day With this mellow song
I can't go wrong

In a mellow tone
That's the way to live
If you mope and groan
Something's gotta give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
You know there's joy unknown
In a mellow tone

In --- a mellow tone that's the way to live
If you mope and groan
Something's got to give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
You know there's joy unknown
In a mellow tone
Just go your way
And laugh and play
You know there's joy unknown
In a mellow tone
