September in the rain

Le vent du soir pleurait dans notre chambre,
en Septembre sous la pluie.
Tu vins t'asseoir tout près, bravant mes larmes,
plein de charme, et d'ennui.
En quelques mot, mon bel amour s'envola,
et je restai, sans toi, cette nuit là.
Le vent du soir pleurait dans notre chambre,
en Septembre, sous la pluie.
The leaves of brown came tumblin' down, remember,
in September in the rain.
The sun went out just like a dying ember,
that September in the rain.
To every word of love I heard you whisper
the raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here, to me it's still September,
that September in the rain.

Georgia on my mind

Georgia, Georgia,
the whole day through.
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia,
a song of you
comes so sweet and clear
like the moonlight through the pines.
Other arms reach out to me.
Other eyes smile tenderly.
Still in peaceful dreams I see
the road leads back to you.
Georgia, Georgia,
no peace I find.
Just an old sweet song keeps
Georgia on my mind.

Why don't you do right?

You had plenty money, 1922.
You let other people make a fool of you.
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too.
You're sittin' down and wonderin' what it's all about.
If you ain't got no money, they will put you out.
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
If you had prepared twenty years ago,
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door.
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too.
I feel for your jivin' and I let you in.
Now all you got to offer me's a sip of gin.
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too.
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other me do.

It don't mean a thing

What good is melody?
What good is music,
if it ain't possessin' somethin' sweet.
It ain't the melody.
It ain't the music.
There's somethin' else that makes the tune complete:
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
(Do-wah do-wah, do-wah do-wah,
do-wah do-wah, do-wah do-wahhhhhh.)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing.
(Do-wah ...)
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot.
Just give that rhythm everything you've got!
Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
(Do-wah ...)
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
(Do-wah ...)
It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing.
(Do-wah ...)
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot.
Just give that rhythm everything you've got!
Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
