Ella Fitzgerald - Organ Grinder's Swing Lyrics

Now eenie meenie minie moe
Catch that monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eenie meenie minie moe
Scatty-ah, pa swings it so does ma
Scatty-ah, ma swings it so does pa
Scatty-ah, you swing it so do I
Scatty-ah, I swing it so do you
When he turns that handle down
Music goes around 'n' around
Everybody starts to sing
To that organ grinder's swing
Tra-la, pa swings it so does ma
Tra-la, ma swings it so does pa
Tra-la, you swing it so do I
Tra-la, I swing it so do you
Now all the children tag along
Just to listen to his song
Monkey dancing on a string
To the organ grinder's swing
Oh-hum
Oh-hum
Oh-hum
Oh-hum, I swing it so do you
Drop a nickle in his hat
Like a rich aristocrat
Every nickle that you fling
Makes that organ grinder swing
Hi-ho
Hi-ho
Hi-ho
Hi-ho, I swing it so do you
[Scat verse]
Eenie meenie minie moe
Catch that monkey by the toe
This music makes me want to sing
Oh you organ grinder's swing

Now eenie meenie minie moe
Catch that monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eenie meenie minie moe
Scatty-ah, pa swings it so does ma
Scatty-ah, ma swings it so does pa
Scatty-ah, you swing it so do I
Scatty-ah, I swing it so do you
When he turns that handle down
Music goes around 'n' around
Everybody starts to sing
To that organ grinder's swing
Tra-la, pa swings it so does ma
Tra-la, ma swings it so does pa
Tra-la, you swing it so do I
Tra-la, I swing it so do you
Now all the children tag along
Just to listen to his song
Monkey dancing on a string
To the organ grinder's swing
Oh-hum
Oh-hum
Oh-hum
Oh-hum, I swing it so do you
Drop a nickle in his hat
Like a rich aristocrat
Every nickle that you fling
Makes that organ grinder swing
Hi-ho
Hi-ho
Hi-ho
Hi-ho, I swing it so do you
[Scat verse]
Eenie meenie minie moe
Catch that monkey by the toe
This music makes me want to sing
Oh you organ grinder's swing
