Scatting
Take a look at the flower in my button hole
Take a look say and ask me why it’s there
Can’t you see that im all dressed up to take a stroll?
Can’t you tell that theres something in the air?
I’ve got a date, can’t hardly wait
I’d like to bet she won’t be late
Here she comes, come on and meet
100 pounds of what is mighty sweet
And it all belongs to me
Flashing eyes
And how they roll
A disposition like a sugar bowl
And it all belongs to me
That pretty baby face
That bunch of style and grace
Should be in a Tiffany’s window
In a platinum jewel case
Hey there, you
You get in touch
I’ll let you look but then you mustn't touch
For it all belongs to me
Here she comes, come on and meet
100 pounds of what is mighty sweet
And it all belongs to me
Rosy cheeks, red hot lips
A million dollars worth of flying hips
And it all belongs to me
Those lips that I desire
Are like electric wire
She kissed a tree last summer
Ooh she started a forest fire
I’m in love with what shes got
And what shes got, shes got an awful lot
And it all belongs to me and im repeating
It all belongs to me!

Biography

edit bio
Ruth Etting (1897-1978) peaked as a radio and Broadway singer in the 1920s and ‘30s. Initially, she announced her retirement in 1935 and again in 1937. Her retirement was complicated by her ex-husband and manager Moe Snyder, an abusive man who made threats against her and others around her. In 1938, he shot her new boyfriend and pianist Harry Myrl Alderman and was convicted of attempted murder. This part of her life was dramatized in the 1953 musical film Love Me or Leave Me. She and Alderman lived quietly in Colorado until her death.
