Ella Fitzgerald - Just One Of Those Things Lyrics






As Dorothy Parker once said
To her boyfriend, "fare thee well"
As Columbus announced
When he knew he was bounced,
"It was swell, Isabel, swell"

As Abelard said to Eloise,
"Don't forget to drop a line to me, please"
As Juliet cried, in her Romeo's ear,
"Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear"

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

Just one of those things

    She could sing so wonderful light and without power and absolute perfect rhythm feeling !

  4. S.... _....

    This is one of my most favorites of Cole potter's! I really enjoyed this version! Thanks!!! I love Ella! But, Louie Armstrong's version was the very best on this one!!! Male vocal is better on this one.And he was the very best doing this song!

  5. M.... P....

    The Brandy Is Very SOP

  6. D.... M....

    The three losers who disliked this are losers

  7. e.... r....

    some people don´t understand jazz and hate jazz, I know many of them !

    One of my all-time favourite vocal recordings! The musicians performing blend in perfectly with Ella's smooth voice!

    kudos to Norman Granz:
    "It was in 1956 that the popular singer Ella Fitzgerald finally joined Norman Granz's label (Verve). Granz had been her manager for some time, and unified his activities under the common label of Verve Records. Granz became Fitzgerald's manager, and remained so until the end of her career. Fitzgerald's memorable series of eight Songbooks, together with the duet series (notably Armstrong-Peterson, Fitzgerald-Basie, Fitzgerald-Pass and Getz-Peterson) achieved wide popularity and brought acclaim to the label and to the artists."
    Her Cole Porter songbook especialy is pure joy

    Aspassia Man thank you!

  12. P.... P....

    I sometimes listen to recent singers but, oh boy, no one does it better than Ella! I'm a rock guy but she is my favorite female singer by a light year!

  13. M.... M....

    Her voice is as close to operatic perfection as this medium allows. Crystalline.

  14. c.... d....

    Wonderful !! Ella was just the best !

  15. J.... C....

    Most of the renditions don't include the charming pre-verse. Thanks.

  16. q.... ....
