MORE POWER TO YOU


as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm  
Sep 7th 1937 New York


More power to you
If you can love again!
Baby, more power to you,
I still remember when!

Though you said we'd be together
and you said we'd never part,
Then, like a change in the weather,
You changed your heart!
(oh, you cheated on me!)

If you can decide
To make a jest of it,
I'll pocket my pride
And make the best of it, yes!

And if it's within your power
To find love with something new,
Then I'll say
More power to you!
More power,
More power,
More power to you, yes!
