"Prelude To A Kiss - Intro" lyrics

(Thank you
Thanks very much, ladies and gentlemen
First of all
All the kids in the band want you to know
That we do love you madly)

Love you madly
Love you madly
This is a man who had
The master plan
For be-bop and jazz and swing
He gave us everything
The rhythm, the harmony, the melody, the words
His music's the best that you ever heard
Lush Life and Satin Doll and Sentimental Mood
Are some of the songs he wrote
That's just to name a few
With Billie and Ella and Sailor scattin' and rappin'
His music is smooth as satin
Check out the Duke

(Love you madly)
