What's New
This is one of my favorites-- An old jazz tune from the thirties by Bob Haggart and Jonny Burke. I first heard it on a Louis Armstrong album my father had when i was growing up.What's new?
How is the world treating you?
you haven't changed a bit;
lovely as ever, I must admit.
What's new?
How did that romance come through?
We haven't met since then, gee!
but it's nice to see you again.
What's new?
Probably I'm boring you,
but seeing you is grand,
and you were sweet to offer your hand
- I understand.
Adieu!
Pardon me asking what's new.
Of course, you couldn't know,
I haven't changed,
I still love you so.
1939
sometimes the old stuff just beats out the new.
