"Lullaby Of Birdland" lyrics
(originally by Morris Levy)
'Cause it's a chanteuse, darling, I'm a chanteuse
I'm on the stage
Gotta feel it
I'm on the piano, you know how good this feels?
When I was little, I would be in lingerie on the piano
At like, 13
Appropriate? Not really
But it's me, and I can't help it
Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say farewell and goodbye
Ooh, lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
And there's a weepy old willow
And he really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say
Fare thee well and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
In love
I'm so in love with you, boy
All because we're in love
And all because
I can't live without you
I won't live without you
I'm making up something
But that don't mean nothin' 'cause it's
In love
He said let me grab that
Before it becomes a tangent
I'm on the stage
Gotta feel it
I'm on the piano, you know how good this feels?
When I was little, I would be in lingerie on the piano
At like, 13
Appropriate? Not really
But it's me, and I can't help it
Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say farewell and goodbye
Ooh, lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
And there's a weepy old willow
And he really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say
Fare thee well and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
In love
I'm so in love with you, boy
All because we're in love
And all because
I can't live without you
I won't live without you
I'm making up something
But that don't mean nothin' 'cause it's
In love
He said let me grab that
Before it becomes a tangent
