NIGHT IN TUNISIA
(Dizzy Gillespie / Frank Caparelli)
Ella Fitzgerald
Charlie Parker


The moon is the same moon above you
Aglow with its cool evening light
But shining at night, in Tunisia
Never does it shine so bright

The stars are aglow in the heavens
But only the wise understand
That shining at night in Tunisia
They guide you through the desert sand

Words fail, to tell a tale
Too exotic to be told
Each night's a deeper night
In a world, ages old

The cares of the day seem to vanish
The ending of day brings release
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
Where the nights are filled with peace

{Repeat all twice}
(scat)
Each wonderful night in Tunisia
