I'M IN A JAM WITH BABY
(Music: Ray Heindorf & M.K. Jerome / Lyrics: Ted Koehler)

Jimmie Lunceford & His Orch. - 1945

Harry James & His Music Makers (vocal: Gale Robbins) - 1953




Why am I in the sky when I oughta be
Walking around on the ground
Down where I belong
Who am I to deny that I'm out of my mind
You would have to be blind
Not to see that something's wrong
The reason's not hard to guess
So I'll just break down and confess

I'm in a jam with Baby
Baby won't talk to me
Looks like someone has been lyin'
I guess a friend of mine is tryin'
Tryin' to take my Baby from me
Obviously they're jealous

I'm so in love with Baby
But I admit truthfully
I don't know this game of love too well
I don't know where I am
I only know that I'm in a jam
