Marion Cowings ‘Freddie Freeloader’ Vocalese Lyrics One free Freddie Tell me Truly Just what horn do you play? Once I Asked him Why so Happy? He said it’s cos music loves me. When trouble surrounds you, and bounds you You feel like flying, but you’re crying You needn’t pay the whole day, Never mind the reason This isn’t the moanin’ groanin’ season. Of course it takes some time to learn the way of smiling everyday to win Ain’t so hard is what you should know. You opened you heart and then say Now which way Is it conceivable to nourish a frown for sorrowful days And harbour a grin at the same time Never considered there are some beautiful ways to win Working with your fingers and your toes then never count ‘em. The feelin’ you get will never free ya Bet a buck, and win the lotto perhaps I meanin’ to say we’re like a robin hoods children, Because the songs we’re singing they, they never end. We’re like a tide movin’ to and fro, Bound to reach an all historical autumn low That’s part of our nature. However, it’s no indication to rest Because the blues are becoming pest and it’s something, we’re meaning to lose. I took my problem down to Philly, And then to Fred Here’s what Freddie has said Get down and never let up Here’s a clue I hope you won’t mistake it. I got my limp from trying to trample the blues without my shoes, But now I’m smiling Even the meanest cat won’t hurt your feelings if you’d only maintain your singin’ That’s all I’m saying dig. Thankyou Fred. You cleared up my head Now I can walk with kings And keep the common touch too I was so afraid I didn’t know what to do Thank you a lot. Thank you Freddie, For telling me the truth in bop talk Things with meaning mean more If they’re felt instead of being read. You know that life can be a pain, if when you’re young you miss your train It’s just a simple thing Unblessed feet can make no scenes But if they’re guided They will walk in freedom A guy like me who’s singin’ every song knows he’s never singing wrong The trouble with me is cos I’m in love dig it I’m tired of bein’ told I’m flippant Cos from the very day I found my key I felt the world upon me Freddie what it can do to ya It made me cry some Though I should fly Because the world and all its woe has got me down letting me know that it’s a loan (alone?) I must live my life Here’s a silly question Can I be lonely? When every song I sing is to my one and only I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout. Until I’m too old to get about And then they’ll sing of me.

Freddie
Tell me
Truly
Just what horn do you play?
Once I
Asked him
Why so
Happy?
He said it’s cos music loves me.
When trouble surrounds you, and bounds you
You feel like flying, but you’re crying
You needn’t pay the whole day,
Never mind the reason
This isn’t the moanin’ groanin’ season.
Of course it takes some time to learn the way of smiling everyday to win
Ain’t so hard is what you should know.
You opened you heart and then say
Now which way
Is it conceivable to nourish a frown for sorrowful days
And harbour a grin at the same time
Never considered there are some beautiful ways to win
Working with your fingers and your toes then never count ‘em.
The feelin’ you get will never free ya
Bet a buck, and win the lotto perhaps
I meanin’ to say we’re like a robin hoods children,
Because the songs we’re singing they,
they never end.
We’re like a tide movin’ to and fro,
Bound to reach an all historical autumn low
That’s part of our nature.
However, it’s no indication to rest
Because the blues are becoming pest and it’s something, we’re meaning to lose.
I took my problem down to Philly,
And then to Fred
Here’s what Freddie has said
Get down and never let up
Here’s a clue I hope you won’t mistake it.
I got my limp from trying to trample the blues without my shoes,
But now I’m smiling
Even the meanest cat won’t hurt your feelings if you’d only maintain your singin’
That’s all I’m saying dig.
Thankyou Fred.
You cleared up my head
Now I can walk with kings
And keep the common touch too
I was so afraid I didn’t know what to do
Thank you a lot.
Thank you Freddie,
For telling me the truth in bop talk
Things with meaning mean more
If they’re felt instead of being read.
You know that life can be a pain, if when you’re young you miss your train
It’s just a simple thing
Unblessed feet can make no scenes
But if they’re guided
They will walk in freedom
A guy like me who’s singin’ every song knows he’s never singing wrong
The trouble with me is cos I’m in love dig it
I’m tired of bein’ told I’m flippant
Cos from the very day I found my key I felt the world upon me
Freddie what it can do to ya
It made me cry some
Though I should fly
Because the world and all its woe has got me down letting me know that it’s a loan (alone?)
I must live my life
Here’s a silly question
Can I be lonely?
When every song I sing is to my one and only
I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna shout.
Until I’m too old to get about
And then they’ll sing of me.
