IT'S MY TURN NOW
Saul Chaplin (m) Sammy Cahn (l)

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald & her Savoy Eight   
Dec 21st 1937 New York


It's my turn now;
Fooled away your chance!
You laughed at our romance
And so it's my turn now!

You knew that I
Would always be right there,
That's why you played unfair
And so it's my turn now!

It's time you started paying
For every lonely night,
And though you keep on saying,
"Two wrongs don't make a right!";

Still it's my turn now,
And should I choose to go,
My heart would whisper, "No!",
Although it's my turn now!

It's time you started paying
For every lonely night,
And though you keep on saying,
"Two wrongs don't make a right!";

Still it's my turn now,
And should I choose to go,
My heart would whisper, "No! No!",
Although it's my turn now!
You fooled away your chance,
You laughed at our romance,
But it's my turn now!
