GOT A PEBBLE IN MY SHOE
Van Alexander (m) Harry Tobias (l)

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Chick Webb & his Orch  
August 17th 1938 New York


Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
I gotta keep dancing all the time!

How'd it ever get in my little toesy?
Never thought a pebble could be so nosey!
Gotta shake it out of my little hosey,
Gotta keep dancing all the time!

Now it's going to my heel,
Maybe I got socks appeal!
I know how a floogy feels,
(scat).

Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
Only one thing I can do-oo-oo-oo, oh,
I gotta keep dancing all the time!

Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
And you gotta keep dancin' all the time!

How'd it ever get in my little toesy?
Never thought a pebble could be so nosey!
Got a pebble in my shoe, (scat), ouch!
And you gotta keep dancing all the time!
