"Oh, hi! Is Miss Otis in?" "Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, " Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmm And she's sorry to be delayed But last evening down at lover's lane She strayed, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today When she woke up and found That her dream of love was gone, madam She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray And from under her velvet gown She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today When the mob came and got her And dragged her from the jail, madam They strung her up on the willow across the way And the moment before she died She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Великая, прекрасная, несравненная Элла ! Какое блаженство - слышать её божественный голос.Даже и ,м.б.,особенно в этой прекрасной и трагической композиции Cole Porter
"Oh, hi! Is Miss Otis in?"
"Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, "
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, mmm
And she's sorry to be delayed
But last evening down at lover's lane
She strayed, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When she woke up and found
That her dream of love was gone, madam
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
When the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail, madam
They strung her up on the willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today
Miss Ella could make anything sound beautiful, even this very odd little song.
Yanked me back immediately to my childhood/youth, hearing my mother sing this in her rich "cigarette alto." Thanks for uploading!
Marvellous song, singer and video! Thanks!
Took the ella-vator to the very bottom. A true lover must never be so unfair. Truth in advertising is the Otis Way. Unable to lunch today. Brian K

The nicest sad song ever.
Thanks
cole porter's inspiration was a comment made by bricktop, the owner of the paris hot spot. little trivia for ya.
My favorite female pop-vocalist of all time!
Would LOVE to know who this exceptional pianist is!
Ellis Larkins
I am sorry. That is Paul Smith, not Ellis Larkins. Ellis Larkins is on the Gershwin Songbook.
to die for!
Thanks David Rothenberg for leading me here.
Fabulous! Enough said.
Taking nothing away from Miss Ella, no one does this like the best in jazz, Carmen McRae.
i like rosemary clooneys version the best.
