Sing ’Em For Mamma, Play ’Em For Me by Katie Crippen
Performed by
Katie CrippenSing ’Em For Mamma, Play ’Em For Me Lyrics
[Verse]
Lil Ida Cole was very bold
Sweet as she could be
She never cared for opera grand
Was wild about blue melody
One day her pa bought a music roll
The best blues he could buy
Every night when he'd come home
He'd hear poor Ida cry
Papa, Papa
Won't you play them blues for me?
[Chorus]
"Oh Papa," play 'em for mama, sing 'em for me
I'm wild about that blue melody
I love you daddy good and strong
That's right Papa, syncopate me all night long
That melody will drive me insane
Please don't you stop me, play it again
Don't play it so fast, it has lots of class
And that ain't all, it's full of jazz
I think I'm going crazy over that blue melody
[Bridge]
Play 'em for mama, sing 'em for me
I'm wild about the way you play that blue melody
Go on, play it daddy, now that's going some
Play it for your mama 'til the cows come home
Stop a minute, daddy, mama's fading away
I know I shouldn't holler, but hey, hey
If you dare to stop, I'll send and get a cop
And that ain't all, you've made me fall
I think I'm going crazy over that blue melody
[Chorus]
"Oh Papa," play 'em for mama, sing 'em for me
I'm wild about that blue melody
I love you daddy good and strong
That's right Papa, syncopate me all night long
That melody will drive me insane
Please don't you stop me, play it again
Don't play it so fast, it has lots of class
And that ain't all, you've made me fall
I think I'm going crazy over that blue melody
