In A Mellow Tone

In A Mellow Tone
music by Duke Ellington
lyric by Milt Gabler

In a mellow tone, feeling fancy free,
And I'm not alone, I've got company.
Everything's okay the livelong 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 a joy unknown, in a mellow tone...
