Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final show for Ella Fitzgerald
Of a very exciting three-week engagement here at Mr. Kelly's
I would like to express our feelings
About her, it's very difficult to do
All I can say is that every show has been
A very thrilling and new experience for us
Ladies and gentlemen, the first lady of song, Ella Fitzgerald
Thank you, Marty, and before we go into the next song
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to say, before we go into
Our first song, I'd like to say it's been a wonderful and
Quite a thrill, such a great thrill to be at Mr. Kelly's
I've heard everyone speak about it
Sassy said it was the craziest and now I know what she meant
Everybody has been so wonderful, the audience
If you're recording, you can keep this up, but if you don't want
I have to get this speech out because
I'm saying this, this is for real
And it's been so wonderful and such a great thrill
This is the quietest and the most appreciative
Audience that we've ran into in such a long time
That I finally wind up real hoarse, but I love it
And I wanna say you've been wonderful, ladies and gentlemen
And for your friends who came and not
Here tonight, would you please tell them?
And for Oscar, I wanna say you've been one of the
Nicest bosses to work with and it's been a pleasure
And all the help who pushed me along in my
Showtime and everything, I'm gonna miss everybody
This has been like a real big happy family
And although I sound like Louis Armstrong now, I'll try to do Ella for
