In a Mellow Tone - Oscar Peterson Trio

Written by：Duke Ellington/Milt Gabler

In a mellow tone

Feeling fancy free

And I'm not alone

I've got company

Everything's OK

The live long day

With this mellow song

I can't go wrong

In a mellow tone

That's the way to live

If you mope and groan

Something's gotta give

Just go your way

And laugh and play

There's joy unknown

In a mellow tone

In a mellow tone

In a mellow tone

Feeling fancy free

And I'm not alone

I've got company

Everything's OK

The live long day

With this mellow song

I can't go wrong

In a mellow tone

That's the way to live

If you mope and groan

Something's gotta give

Just go your way

And laugh and play

There's joy unknown

In a mellow tone

In a mellow tone

In a mellow tone
