The Cricket Song

Ella Fitzgerald

[Intro]
Just give me a little vamp

[Verse 1]
Crickets on the left, crickets on the right
Crickets just singing with me all the night
What can I do? They're too much competition
But I love them, oh yes, I love them
What do I do? What do I say?
I don't care anyway
'Cause they made this a happy night for me
So sing on, crickets

[Bridge]
As long as they sing, we know it's a happy thing
'Cause when they stop, that bother's over for me, over for me

[Verse 2]
So sing on, crickets, sing for me
Come on, crickets, sing with me
I don't care, I'm going on vacation now
You can sing any way, anyhow, yeah
Oh, these crickets
Yes, those crickets, they sing and they swing me
They keep wailin'
Well, I wonder if they could wail the blues
I wonder if they could do what Dizzy do
I bet they could, I bet they would now
And I know they should

[Bridge]
Well, I'm making this little tune up for you
And when I'm through
Somehow the melody we got off there
Well, I guess, I guess, I guess it's time for me to go now

[Outro]
So sing, swing, sing on, swing on, crickets, sing with me
'Cause it's been a ball, what a ball
Singin', and keep swingin'
I was singin' and swingin' with the crickets all night long

[Outro dialogue]
I couldn't remember it again
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you
I didn't intend to put that in
Now we'll try to do the song we started
But that was so tempting
Somebody got that on record?
I may— maybe we'll be able to sing it
Anything sells nowadays
