An Ella Fitzgerald Standard
By Nemo
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
OLE FATHER TIME CHECKED SO THERE'D BE NO DOUBT,
CALLED ON THE NORTH WIND TO COME ON OUT,
THEN CUPPED HIS HANDS SO PROUDLY TO SHOUT,
LA-DE-DA-DE-DA-DE-DUM, 'TIS AUTUMN,
THE TREES SAY THEY'RE TIRED, THEY'VE BORNE TOO MUCH FRUIT,
CHARMED ALL THE WAYSIDE, THERE'S NO DISPUTE,
NOW, SHEDDING LEAVES, THEY DON'T GIVE A HOOT,
LA-DE-DA-DE-DA-DE-DUM, 'TIS AUTUMN,
THEN THE BIRDS GOT TOGETHER TO CHIRP ABOUT THE WEATHER,
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
AFTER MAKING THEIR DECISION IN BIRDY-LIKE PRECISION,
TURNED ABOUT AND MADE A BEE-LINE TO THE SOUTH,
MY HOLDING YOU CLOSE REALLY IS NO CRIME,
ASK THE THE BIRDS, THE TREES, AND OLE FATHER TIME,
IT'S JUST TO HELP THE MERCURY CLIMB,
LA-DE-DA-DE-DA-DE-DUM, 'TIS AUTUMN.
Repeat Refrain
'TIS AUTUMN
Drop me an "E" any time.
