Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald

Like Young

I'm out doin' the usual places

And I'm livin' it, like young

Then I dig me this face of all faces

He's the craziest, like young

He drinks coffee at Cafe Espresso

He reads Kerouac, like young

He goes where all the angry young men go

Recites poetry, like young

We start blowin' the pad around lovin'

And we're homin' it, like now

We spin records on cloud number seven

And he's reachin' me, like wow

I'm all unstrung 'cause, man

He's got me feelin' like young

If he were to brush me and go

I'm starting to wear my hair again

Like a square again

I keep gettin' the kookiest notion

I think maybe it's like love

I've been feelin' a crazy emotion

I think, baby, it's like love

Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville

And we're makin' it like young

Love soft as April snow

Love warm as candle glow

Love, love is easy to go

I'm all unstrung 'cause, man

He's got me feelin' like young

Without him I'm no good at all

Without him I'm less than a decimal

I keep gettin' the kookiest notion

I think maybe it's like love

I've been feelin' a crazy emotion

I think, baby, it's like love

Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville or Wowsville

We're makin' it, makin' it like, like, like young
