FEELIN' HIGH AND HAPPY
(Rube Bloom (m) Ted Koehler (l) )
as recorded by Gene Krupa & his Orchestra
(vocal - Helen Ward)
April 15th 1938 New York
Better slip into your evenin' clothes,
There's a dance tonight at Joe's,
Let's go, I'm feelin' high and happy!
I've reserved a ringside seat for two,
Nothin' but the best will do,
Let's go, I'm feelin' high and happy!
I understand they start in jammin' long about twelve o'clock,
And they won't feel good until the neighbourhood begins to rock!
I just went in home for everything,
When I do that so we can swing
You know I'm feelin' high and happy!
