1939 – Duke Ellington / Milt Gabler
In a mellow tone
Feeling fancy free
And I’m not alone
I’ve got company
Everything’s ok
The live long day
With this mellow song
I can’t go wrong
In a mellow tone
That’s the way to live
If you mope and groan
Something’s gotta give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
There’s joy unknown
In a mellow tone
