Lyrics for In a Mellow Tone

Feeling fancy free And I'm not alone I've got company Everything's ok The live long day With this mellow song I can't go wrong That's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's gotta give Just go your way And laugh and play There's joy unknown (Scat) In a mellow tone) Feeling fancy free And I'm not alone I've got company Everything's ok The live long day With this mellow song I can't go wrong That's the way to live If you mope and groan Something's gotta give Just go your way And laugh and play There's joy unknown
