Duke Ellington
East St. Louis Toodle-oo / Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
[Verse 1]
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

[Bridge]
Well, darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up old memories?

[Verse 2]
I've been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymore

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh, the Saturday dance
[Outro]
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymore
Got as far as the door
Might have gone but what for
Oh, don't get around much anymore, no more
