| The lyric of Ev Rything I Ve Got, Ella Fitzgerald's song VERSE 1 Don t stamp your foot at me It s impolite To stamp your foot at me Is not quite right. At man s ingratitude A woman winks But such an attitude just stinks. REFRAIN 1 I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks. I have words that do not come from children s books there s a trick with a knife I m learning to do And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. I ve a powerful anesthesia in my fist And the perfect wrist to give your neck atwist. There are hammerlock holds I ve mastered a few And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. Share for shareshare alike You get struck each time I strike. You for me- me for me- I ll give you plenty of nothing. I m not yours for better but for worse And I ve learned to give the well-known witches curse. I ve a terrible tonguea temper for two And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. VERSE 2 Don t raise your voice at me That s very rude. To raise your voice at me Is rather crude. It s wrong essentially when woman yells And confidentiallyit smells. REFRAIN 2 I ll converse with you on politics at length I ll protect you with my superhuman strength. If you re ever attacked I ll scream and say"Boo! And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. I will never stray from homeI ll just stay put Cause I ve got a brand-new thing called athlete s foot. I m a victim of coldsanemiatoo And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. Off to bed we will creep Then we ll sleep and sleep and sleep Till the birds start to peep. I ll give you plenty of nothing. I ll be yours forever and a day If the first good breeze does not blow me away. You re enough for one manthat s why I ll be true And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. ENCORE You may have some things that I can t use at all. When I look at youyour manly gifts are small. I ve a wonderful way of saying adieu And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. You won t know how good I am until you try And you ll let my well of loneliness run dry. I ve a marvelous way of telling you no And ev rything I ve got belongs to you. And ev rything you want belongs to me! And ev rything you need belongs to me! REPRISE VERSE Life has no shape or form And no design. It isn t life without That fool of mine. I used to gad about With any chap And now I m sad about my sap. REFRAIN He s a living thing that isn t quite alive He has brains enough for any child of five. Ohhe isn t too rich in vigor and vim But ev rything I ve got belongs to him. He s a naughty brat that can t be left alone. He has eyes for ev ry skirt except my own. Even under a treehe grabs for the limb But ev rything I ve got belongs to him. Something beats in his chest But it s just a pump at best. I m for himhe s for him. He gives me plenty of nothing. When I see that funny faceI know Something scared his mother twenty years ago. But I ll never let gohe ll never be free! Till ev rything he s got belongs to me! CODA And ev rything I ve got belongs to him! And ev rything I ve got belongs to us!
