Lyrics for In A Mellow Tone

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 In a mellow tone 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 In a mellow tone (scat) In a mellow tone (bridge) 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 In a mellow tone 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 In a mellow tone In a mellow tone In a mellow tone
