Old peter minuet had nothing to lose when he bought the isle of manhatten
For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze and they threw in the bronx and staten
Pete thought that he had the best of the bargin but the poor red man just grinned,
And he grunted ugh! meaning okay in his jargon for he knew poor pete was skinned.
Weve tried to run the city....but the city ran away...
And now peter minuet
We cant continue it...
Broadways turning into coney,
Champagne charlies drinking gin,
Old new york is new and phony
Give it back to the indians!
Two cents more to smoke a lucky,
Dodging busses keep you thin,
Now new york is simply ducky,
Give it back to the indians!
Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap
Whites on fifth avenue
Blues down in wall street losing hope..
Big bargain today...chief take it away!
Come you busted city slickers,
Better take it on the chin
Father nick has lost his knickers
Give it back to the indians!
<instrumental break>
Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap
Whites on fifth avenue
Blues down in wall street losing hope..
Big bargain today...chief take it away!
Come you busted city slickers,
Better take it on the chin
Father nick has lost his knickers
Give it back to the indians!
Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996) è stata una leggendaria cantante jazz statunitense, considerata una delle voci più influenti e riconoscibili di tutti i tempi. Nata a Newport News, Virginia, iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '30 cantando in locali notturni di Harlem. Nel 1934 vinse un talent show al Apollo Theater, aprendo le porte alla fama nazionale. La sua tecnica vocale impeccabile, caratterizzata da una straordinaria capacità di scatting e da un'ampia gamma vocale, la rese celebre in tutto il mondo. Fitzgerald collaborò con alcuni dei più grandi musicisti jazz dell'epoca, tra cui Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong e Count Basie. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "A-Tisket, A-Tasket", "Dream a Little Dream of Me" e "Mack the Knife". Ella Fitzgerald ha lasciato un'eredità musicale immensa, influenzando generazioni di cantanti e contribuendo a definire lo stile del jazz moderno.
