Lyrics Patti Austin

Patti Austin

Hearing Ella Sing

Sweet and pure that's for sure

And you'll always know

When you're hearing Ella sing

Cool and hot bobble your back

If you're not grooving then you are not

Hearing Ella sing

She sang with Bing and Frank and Nat

On everything from jazz to scat

You bet your bottom dollar that you want to swing

Hearing Ella sing

Hear that bard then that word

Ain't no sound like the one you've heard

Hearing Ella sing

Hear that throat, bend that note

You'll hear more than the right or wrong

Hearing Ella sing, yeah

With boo, du, bado, yadoo, la, boo, do, bop

She broke all the records at the record shop

And no one's gonna ever stop remembering

Hearing Ella sing

Oh, this old black day is for my Ella

Let it flow, let her know

Man, we can still hear Ella all around us

Ella, Ella we will never let you go

That's for Ella, let it flow, oh, let her know

Oh you know we can, we can, still hear Ella all around us

Come on, come on, come on you gotta let her know

Oh, Miss Fitzgerald we will never let you go

Ella, Ella, oh Ella, we will never let you go
