SWING MISTER CHARLIE
J Russell Robinson / Laker / Brooks   1936




Judy Garland w Bob Crosby & his Orch   
rec June 12th 1936 New York


Swing Mister Charlie,
Oh swing Mister Charlie,
I don't care what tune,
Just make it a hot tune!
Play a note or two
Of a theme that's new;
And the notes you hit is harder than
Anything I've heard since time began!


Oh swing Mister Charlie,
Oh swing Mister Charlie,
No-one can swing it like you do!
I can't get enough
Of that swingable rhythm stuff
Swing Mister Charlie, swing!


Oh swing Mister Charlie,
Oh swing Mister Charlie,
I don't care what tune,
Just make it a hot tune!
Play a bar or two
Of a theme that's new;
And the notes you hit is harder than
Anything I've heard since time began!


Swing Mister Charlie,
Oh swing Mister Charlie,
No-one can swing it like you do!
I can't get enough
Of that swingable rhythm stuff
Swing Mister Charlie, swing!
Swing Mister Charlie, swing!


Note - Judy Garland's first solo recording - aged 14 years 2 days
