ALL OVER NOTHING AT ALL (Tinturin / Lawrence)
Peter Tinturin / Jack Lawrence   1937

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald & her Savoy Eight   
May 24th 1937 New York


Oh, all over nothing at all,
You buolt me up for a fall, a fall;
We made up and then
Quarrelled again,
All over nothing at all!

You pinned a note to the wall,
I thought at least you would call,
But I never heard,
Not even a word,
All over nothing at all!

If you ever come back,
I'll be so nice to you;
If you never come back,
I'll be with the crazies,
Pushing up the daisies!

I watch the clock on the wall,
Wait for your step in the hall;
It's hard to conceive,
Hard to believe,
It's over all over nothing at all!

If you ever come back,
I'll be so nice to you;
If you never come back,
I'll be with the crazies,
Pushing up the daisies!

I watch the clock on the wall,
Wait for your step in the hall;
Say it's hard to conceive,
Hard to believe,
It's over and we're all through, boo hoo!
And all over nothing at all!
