Duke Ellington Bond Promo

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
In just a [G]moment another Ellington classic,
but deserting the 88s
to take our place at the microphone
is the Duke himself.
Mr. Ellington? Thank you.
I know I haven't had time
to put this little rhyme to music yet
But I'd like to know
what you folks think of the words.
Here we go
There was a young woman named
May
Who cried [F]to her mother one day?
[G]I want a new hat
and so that is that I'm off to
go spending my pay
There was a young woman named Belle,
who really got paid very well.
She said to her mom, I'm buying a bond.
Now which one is smarter, pray tell?
Well, I'm not saying that you girls don't
need a new hat now and then.
But it is a mighty smart idea
to invest part of your salary
in United States savings bond
every single day, payday.
If you keep that up regularly,
there comes a day,
or there'll come [F]a day,
when you can buy [G]far more
than just a new hat.
You can make many
a dream come true.
For instance,
get yourself a whole new wardrobe
and take that long vacation cruise
[G]you've so often dreamed about.
For every 3,
you'll get back 4 in just 10 years,
and that's good, solid investment.
So make your favorite
dream come true.
Save for it [F]through United
States Savings [G]Bonds.
Get them at your bank,
post office,
or on the payroll [Eb]savings plan where you work.
