I Got Rhythm (Live) - Gerry Mulligan

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh Don't need what money can buy Birds in the trees sing their day full of song Why shouldn't we sing along? I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot How do I get that way? Look at what I've got I got rhythm, I got music I got my man Who could ask for anything more? I got daisys, in green pastures I got my man Who could ask for anything more? Old man trouble I don't mind him You won't find him 'round my door I got starlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more? Old man trouble I don't mind him You won't find him, 'round my door I got startlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more? I got rhythm, I got music I got daisys, in green pastures I got startlight I got sweet dreams I got my man Who could ask for anything more?

I've been around the world I've seen a million girls Ain't one of them got What my lady she's got She steals the spotlight Knocks me off my feet She's enough to start a landslide Just a walkin down the street Wearing dresses so tight And looking dynamite Enough to blow me out No doubt about it can't live without it The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm She's like a lethal brand Too much for any man She gives me first degree She really satisfies me Love me till I'm legless Aching and sore Enough to stop a freight train Or start the Third World War You know I'm losin sleep I'm in too deep Like a body needs blood No doubt about it can't live without it The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm You know she moves like sin And when she lets me in It's like liquid love No doubt about it can't live without it The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm) You know she really got the rhythm (girl's got rhythm) She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm) Rock n roll rhythm (rock n roll rhythm)

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain.
