'Tain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It) |

Night after night
She sang with the big bands;
Lady Ella's voice spanned three octaves.
She looked so chic and grand;
No gimmicks when Ella performed.
Night after night she'd take a bow
As she took the crowd by storm.
- Ella Fitzgerald has packed her valise
And waved Goodbye to the sand dunes, - Crotchety dromedaries gave her the hump,
- Hump, hump, hump.
Copycat Whinehouse has lost the plot;
Injecting coke in her eyeballs!
Told her to rehab but she wouldn't go,
No, no, no!
'Tain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It).
The End|

The structure of this piece is akin to The song Nellie The Elephant, written in 1957 by Ralph Butler and Peter Hart. Try singing along.
My intention, is to offer these lyrics to Army WhineHouse as her comeback from rehab single.
Cheers m’dears,
Eric. | Ah!
