stan kenton - you and i and george lyrics

[intro: red kelly, stan kenton]
thank you
we’re going to, uh, deviate from the band’s music for the moment
in order to help exploit the special material of a friend of red kelly’s here
that uh, well, i think it’s best if i let him explain things to you
red, here’s the microphone
uh, i’m gonna sing a song called, “you—”
actually, i don’t wanna sing it, but the trumpet players have to have a rest
and uh, i’m gonna sing this song and it’s called “you and i and george”
and uh, in seriousness, the song was written by a successful songwriter
who one day awoke with a terrible hangover and decided that
people didn’t listen to the words of songs anyway
and so he wrote this
and i’ll be assisted by lennie niehaus
directing four fellows from the silver slipper bar
and uh, oh yes, “you and i and george” is the name of the song, okay
gimme that noise
okay, you ready?

[verse 1: red kelly]
you and i and george
went strolling through the park one day
and then you held my hand
as if to say, “i love you”

[verse 2: red kelly]
then we passed a brook
and george fell in and drowned himself
and floated out to sea
leaving you alone with me
