NOW WILL YOU BE GOOD?
Jentes / Peake / Terker

as rec by Jimmy Rushing w Count Basie & his Orch   
Feb 16th 1938 New York


You stepped out, you had your fun,
So I stepped out and I went and done
What I said I would,
Now will you be good?

You gave me aq song and a dance,
Now you see I can find romance
Like I said I could,
Now will you be good?

A proverb old, my mother used to tell;
that you can take a pitcher to the well,
Once too often!

You were gone with someone new,
Now you frown for the beast on you
Like I said it would,
Now will you be good?
