Lyrics Duke Ellington

Duke Ellington

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

When I'm not playing solitaire

I take a book down from the shelf

And what with programs on the air

I keep pretty much to myself.

Missed the Saturday dance

Hear they crowded the floor

Couldn't bear it without you

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Though i'd visit the club

Got as far as the door

They'd have asked about you

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Darling I guess my mind's more at case

But nevertheless

Why stir up memories

Been invited on dates

Might have gone but what for

Awf'lly diff'rent without you

Don't Get Around Much Anymore.

Missed the Saturday dance

Hear they crowded the floor

Couldn't bear it without you

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Though i'd visit the club

Got as far as the door

They'd have asked about you

Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Darling I guess my mind's more at case

But nevertheless

Why stir up memories

Been invited on dates

Might have gone but what for

Awf'lly diff'rent without you

Don't Get Around Much Anymore.
