Stravinsky!
Due to the tragic lowness of my brow
All music that's highbrow
Gets me upset
Each time I hear a strain of Stravinsky's
I hurry to Minsky's and try to forget
I don't like Schubert's music or Schumann's
I'm one of those humans
Who only goes in for Berlin and Vincent Youmans
I'm for the guy that eludes
Bach sonatas and Chopin preludes
So when some nice man I meet
I always murmur "Toot, sweet"
If you want to thrill me and drill me for your crew
Sing me a melody that's red hot and blue
Before you expand on that grand cottage for two
Sing me a melody that's red hot and blue
I can't take Sibelius or Delius
But I swear I'd throw my best pal away for Calloway
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho
So when we get set and I get married to you
Don't let that violin start playing Lohengrin
It may be sweet as sin
But it's not red hot and blue
My boys
If you ask me, toots, just what puts me in a stew
Sing me a melody that's red hot and blue
If I'm quite correct, you expect me to come through
Sing me a melody that's
Red hot and blue
This craze that's pursuing me may ruin me
But my Waterloo won't be Wellington but Ellington
Duke Ellington
If you feel tonight like a light evening for two
I've no desire to hear Fleisch that's from Hilda dear
She waves a pretty spear but she's not
Red hot, red hot, red hot, red hot
Red hot, red hot, red hot
Red hot and blue
