Please dont stop me. Hope you like it folks And then he started cookin -- Everytime he played Some melodic melody fast or slow You could tell that it was hawkins -- No other one ever has Quite captured his tone Just he alone -- Has the sound that penetrates It will sure go right through you Yes it will -- And every chorus gives you just another thrill Then along came eddie jefferson He sang the melody like hawkins played it He sang it true He sang it blue Made words for it too All his fans in new york loved him Theres no one above him Here in the usa Ive heard em say ol eddie was the man Oh how he could sing Man did he swing Sang on the wing, did his own thing Yes he did Throughout the country -- Music lovers are still wiggin on eddies singin All around the world -- he is known Rhythm was his special joy -- He swung it like a horn He must have been born to be a singer cause his lyrics were so sincere and true Funny sad or blue Oh yeah! And weve got to remind you Many years it took him Singing every day to achieve his first claim to fame He was twenty years ahead of his time And he knew it But he kept right on-a singing He went all around the world making rhythm cause music sure was in him and he knew it was Sang with moody and richie cole He could sing it just like bird But his forte was the words he wrote to Music that he sang So he sang, and he sang And he sang his words so clever And I know theyll silence him never cause he cut this masterpiece And now were trying to sing it for you Hope the bean and eddie both would still approve There we go We didnt mean to reminisce You can surely bet That we wont forget cause we hear them yet Goodbye Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Clouds, Clouds (Adapted From Nuages), Code Of Ethics, Confide In Me, Confirmation, Coo Coo-U, Dead or Alive, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?, Dont Let Go, Down South Camp Meetin, Dream Lover, Fair & Tender Ladies, Fair Tender Ladies, Foreign Affair, Four Brothers, Freddy Morris Monologue, Gentleman With A Family, Gloria, God Only Knows, Goodbye Love, Goodnight, GROOVIN, Grooving, Guided Missiles, Happy Holiday/The Holiday Season (Medley), HAPPY HOLIDAYTHE HOLIDAY SEASON (MEDLEY), Hard Day, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Hear The Voices, Hear The Voices (bahia De Todas As Contas), Hearts Desire, Helpless, Hot Fun In The Summertime, How High The Moon, I Know Why, I Know Why (And So Do You), I Need A Man, I Second That Emotion, In A Mellow Tone, In the Dark, It Came Upon The Midnight Clear, It Would Not Have Made Any Difference, It Wouldnt Have Made Any Difference, ITS GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE, Its Good Enough To Keep (Air Mail Special), Its Not The Spotlight, Its Gonna Take A Miracle, Java Jive, Je Voulais, Je Voulais (Te Dire Que Je TAttends), Other Manhattan Transfer song Lyrics 10 Minutes Till The Savages Come Lyrics 15 Minute Intermission Lyrics A Christmas Love Song Lyrics A Gal In Calico Lyrics A Kiss To Build A Dream On Lyrics A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square Lyrics A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square Lyrics A World Apart Lyrics A-Tisket, A-Tasket Lyrics Agua Lyrics AGUA (AGUA) Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Manhattan Transfer F/ Ben E.
