Duke Ellington
Do Nothing ’Til You Hear from Me / I’ll Get By
[Intro]
Now presenting our first vocal star of the evening
An incomparable, all-American girl singer
Miss Billie Holiday

[Verse 1]
Do nothing 'til you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams
Is over my head
Do nothing 'til you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance

[Bridge]
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

[Verse 2]
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing 'til you hear it from me
And you never will
[Bridge]
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

[Verse 3]
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing 'til you hear it from me
And you never will
Do nothing 'til you hear from me

[Verse 4]
I'll get by as long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness too
I'll not complain, I'll laugh it through
Poverty may come to me, that's true
But what care I? I'll get by
As long as I have you

[Verse 5]
I'll get by as long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness too
I'll not complain, I'll laugh it through
Poverty may come to me, that's true
But what care I? I'll get by
As long as I have you
