Don't Be That Way

Ella Fitzgerald / Louis Armstrong

from "The Complete Verve Recordings"

Benny Goodman, Edgar Sampson, Mitchell Parish



[Ella]

April skies are in your eyes

But darling, don't be blue



Don't cry,

Oh honey please

Don't be that way



Clouds in the sky

Should never make you feel that way



The rain

Will bring the violets of May

Tears are in vain So honey please don't be that way



As long as we

See it through

You'll have me

I'll have you



Sweetheart

Tomorrow is another day

Don't break my heart

Oh honey, please don't be that way



[Louis]

Don't cry,

Oh honey please

Don't be that way



Clouds in the sky

Should never make you feel that way



The rain

Will bring the violets of May

Tears in vain

So honey please don't be that way



As long as we

Will see it through

You'll have me

And I'll have you



Sweetheart

Tomorrow is another day

Don't break my heart

Oh honey, please don't be that way



Don't cry





Don't cry, don't cry





Oh honey, please don't be that way



Oh honey, please don't be that way



Clouds in the sky



Dig those crazy sky



Should never make you feel that way



So don't be that way



Dig the rain



Pitter pitter pitter pitter patter



Bring the violets of May



Pitter patter of the rain drops



Tears in vain



Tears, tears



So honey please don't be that way



Don't be that way



As long as we



(scat)



Will see it through



(scat)



Oh baby, you'll have me



(scat)



And I'll have you



(scat)



Sweetheart



(scat)



Tomorrow is another day



Tomorrow is another day



Don't break my heart



(scat)



Oh honey, please don't be that way



(scat)



Looky here, baby don't cry



(scat)



Oh honey, please don't be that way



(scat)



Clouds in the sky



(scat)



Should never make you feel that way



(scat)



Yeah, don't cry



(scat)



Honey, please don't be that way



(scat)



Clouds in the sky



(scat)



Oh honey, please don't be that way



No honey, I'll never be that way
