TOO-RAL-OO-RAL
Over in Killarney, many years ago,
Me Mother sang a song to me in tones
so sweet and low,
Just a simple little ditty, in her
good old lrish way
And l’d give the world if she could
sing that song to me this day.
,,Tooralooraooral, Tooralorali,
Toralooraloral, Hush now, don’t you cry!
Tooralooralooral, Tooraloorali,
Tooralooraloral, That’s an Iris lullaby."
selst í hundruð þúsunda upplagi.
Hann er fæddur í Chicago, og lék fyrst á
næturklúbbum, þar til er hann var ráðinn á
Onyx-klúbbinn í New York og síðan hefur
braut hans verið blómutn stráð.
Hann komst í mikið vinfengi við hið fræga
tónskáld George Gershwin og alltaf er tæki-
færi gafst bauð Gershwin Tatum til sín og
sat kvöld eftir kvöld og hlustaði á hann.
Vegna hinna mikið improviseruðu sólóa Tat-
ums hefur verið slæmt að gefa út lög hans
nótu fyrir nótu og Tatum sjálfur varð undr-
andi, er hinum fræga útsetjara Frank Paparelli
tókst þetta með því að taka sólóir Tatums af
plötum og skrifa þær upp nótu fyrir nótu.
Þekktustu lög Tatums eru Gang O’ Nothin’,
Live Jive og Carnegie Hall Bounce.
Aðeins eitt forlag hefur gefið út hefti af
píanósólóum Tatums og er það Peter Maurice
forlagið í Englandi.
Oft, in dreams, I wander, to that cot again,
1 feel her arms a huggin’ me as
when she held me then.
And 1 hear her voce a hummin’
to me as in days of yore,
When she used to rocI{ me fast asleep
outside the cabin door.
Tooral ooralooral, Tooraloorali", o. s. frv.
THE COKEY COKEY
Way out west where ther ain’t no swing
old time ragtimes still the thing
They’ve a little song they li\e to dance
and sing.
It's called the Co\ey Co\ey
Everybody on their toes
This is the way it goes.
You pur your left arm out
left arm in
Left arm out and sha\e it all about
You do the Co\ey Co\ey and turn around
that’s what it,s all about SEE?
Iit’s called the Cokcy Co\ev
It’s corny but it’s O.K.
Co\ey Co\ey 0\ey Do\ey.
When the piano player starts the jazz
In the old saloon he never gets the razz
Has he got a rythm? well it’s all he has
It’s called the Co\ey Co\ey
Everybody on their toes
This is the way it goes.
This is the way it goes.
You put your rigth foot out
rigth foot in
Rigth foot out and sha\e it all about
You do the Co\ey Co\ey and turn around
That’s what it’s all about SEE?
