ROBBIN'S NEST
(see also "Just When We're Falling In Love)
(Illinois Jacquet (m) Sir Charles Thompson (m) Ella Fitzgerald (l) 1947)

as recorded by Ella Fitzgerald
December 23rd 1947


Give me somethin' gentle,
Make it sentimental,
Whatever you could suggest,
I'll take Robbin's nest!

Make it sweet and tender,
So I must surrender.
You know I'd like nothin' but the best,
So I'll take Robbin's nest!

For when I get that feelin',
Goin' round and round,
Somethin' brings me down, 
Way down, way down!

Give me somethin' gentle,
Make it sentimental,
Whatever you could suggest,
I'll take Robbin's nest!

(scat)

When I get that feelin',
Goin' round and round,
Somethin' brings me down,
Way down, way down!

Give me somethin' sweet and gentle,
Make it sentimental,
Whatever you could suggest,
I'll take Robbin's nest!
(scat).
