Stormy Weather by Ella Fitzgerald
Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above gonna let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time
(bridge)
Can’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

Coquette by Guy Lombardo
Tell me why you keep foolin' little coquette?
Makin' fun of the ones who love you
Breakin' hearts you are rulin' little coquette
True hearts tenderly dreamin' of you.
Someday, you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you
Maybe someone you love will just be foolin'
And when you are alone with only regrets
You'll know, little coquette I love you.
Coquette by Guy Lombardo

Breakin' hearts you are rulin' little coquette
True hearts tenderly dreamin' of you.
Someday, you'll fall in love as I fell in love with you
Maybe someone you love will just be foolin'
And when you are alone with only regrets
You'll know, little coquette I love you.

Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye
Next song features the voice of Don Cornell.
It isn't fair by Sammy Kaye
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day
It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, dear
Why is it that you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today
My darling, it isn't fair
It isn't fair by Sammy Kaye
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for a day
It isn't fair for you to thrill me
Why do you do the things you do
It isn't fair for you to fill me
With those dreams that can't come true, dear
Why is it that you came into my life
And made it complete
You gave me just a taste of high life
If this is love then I repeat
It isn't fair for you to taunt me
How can you make me care this way
It isn't fair for you to want me
If it's just for today
My darling, it isn't fair

Introduction
La idea era crear un blog para poder discutir sobre canciones de jazz, y blues.
Elegí el nombre The Scat porque es un tipo de improvisación vocal tipica en jazz. El primero en utilizarla fue Cab Calloway, y Ella Fitzgerald la desarrolló aún más.
The Scat Song by Cab Calloway
skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-day!
Spoken: [Bennie Payne] Say, what you doin', boy?
[Cab] Oh, man, I'm just scatting and going right on to town, Satchmo!
When your sweetie tells you, everything'll be okay,
Just: [Instrumental]
If you feel like shoutin', advertise it just this way:
And [Instrumental]
Don't give a hang what words you use at any time,
Sing this silly language, without any reason or rhyme.
When you face the preacher, there's only one thing to say:
Just [Instrumental]
skeep-beep de bop-bop beep bop bo-dope skeetle-at-de-op-day!
