Serenade Blues

Blues, Lawd I love them so Noble Sissle Serenade Blues 1.jpg [1st verse:] Blues, Lawd I love them so I love each note that Handy wrote Blues, why they're all the go Believe what I say, they're here to stay

Of course I love the classic music I mean I like the melodies and minor keys But if you want a treat Here's one I know you can't beat, Lawd-ee!

[Refrain:] Just take the serenade that Shubert wrote And take the classic shade from every note Then with that melody start into playing Forget the artist and the olden ways But like the smartest of our modern days

Just fill that melody full of Jazzy syncopations, razzy modulations When you get to that minor strain Oh Lawdy, let me hear you sit right on it Just to hear it oh! once again

I would take my diamond ring right off and pawn it I'd bet my very last pair of shoes That even Paderewky would choose When he hears it played Serenade blues

[2nd verse:] Blues, why they're all the rage In every home from here to Rome Blues played on every stage In churches too, the world's gone blue

Grand Opera soon will be a has been I mean it's style, not melodies nor minor keys For they're always a hit If you jazz them up a bit, Lawd-ee!
