Fitzgerald Ella Ev`rything I`ve Got Lyrics

Ev`rything I`ve Got Lyrics

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 share, share
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 tongue,
a 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
confidentially, it 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 home, I'll just stay
put,
'Cause I've got a brand-new thing called athlete' s foot.
I'm a
victim of colds, anemia, too,
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 man, that'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 you, your 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.
Oh, he 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 tree, he 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 him, he's for him.
He
gives me plenty of nothing.
When I see that funny face, I know
Something
scared his mother twenty years ago.
But I'll never let go, he'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!
