also rec by Ella Fitzgerald w Chick Webb & his Orch  '37


She's tall, she's tan, she's terrific,
Just arrived in town from Tennessee, oh mercy!
I say you'll say she's terrific, yes sir,
When she turns on that southern personality!

To set you right,
She's dynamite!
Three words describe her charms vekour,
Yes three words, that don't mean four!

She's tall, tan, terrific, mm-hmm!
Streamlined Lulu Belle from Tennessee.

To set you right,

Yes three words, that don't mean four!

Tall, tan, terrific, yes sir!
