Nat "King" Cole  1945

The Nat "King" Cole Trio  rec Oct 18th 1945  New York

also rec by Diana Krall  1995


Here's something that I'd like to bring to you,
Wrapped all in celophane, designed for you;
Tell you what it's all about,
It is without a doubt
Swing in the latest style,
Service with a smile!

if you want to swing and shout,
get your kicks and gad about,
I'm an errand boy for rhythm,
Send me!

Lace your boot and follow through,
I'll deliver straight to you,
I'm an errand boy for rhythm,
Send me!

You can always find me down at Smokey Joe's;
That's the place where every gal and gator goes!

If you want variety,
Just step in and call on me,
I'm an errand boy for rhythm,
Send me!

You can always find me down at Smokey Joe's;
That's the place where every gal and gator goes!

If you want variety,
Just step in and call on me,
I'm an errand boy for rhythm,
I'm an errand boy for rhythm,
Send me!
