Duke Ellington
In a Mellow Tone
[Verse 1]
In a mellow tone
Feeling fancy free
And I'm not alone
I've got company
Everything's okay
The live long day
With this mellow song
I can't go wrong

[Verse 2]
In a mellow tone
That's the way to live
If you mope and groan
Something's gotta give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
There's joy unknown
In a mellow tone

[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 1]
In a mellow tone
Feeling fancy free
And I'm not alone
I've got company
Everything's okay
The live long day
With this mellow song
I can't go wrong

[Verse 2]
In a mellow tone
That's the way to live
If you mope, if you mope and groan
Something's gotta give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
There's joy unknown
In a mellow tone
