[Spoken Intro]
Now, ladies and gentlemen
We are swinging Sweet Sue for you this evening
And we are featurin' two good ol' choruses
And the second is none other than the vipers language
We gonna swing upon ya
And my little tenor man, old gatemouth Budd Johnson
Gonna sing the chorus for you
Looka here, looka here
Look out son, one, two
[Verse 1]
Every star above
Knows the one I love
Sweet Sue, baby it's you
[Verse 2]
And the moon up high
Knows the reason why
Sweet Sue, it's you
[Bridge]
No one else it seems
Seems to shares my dreams
Without you, dear
I don't know what I'd do
[Verse 3]
In this heart of mine
You live all the time
Sweet Sue, (scat)
Get a load of this viper language
[2nd Chorus: Budd Johnson scatting in "viper language"]
[Verse 1]
Stars above
The one I love
Means just you
[Verse 2]
The moon up high
Knows the reason why
He said Sweet Suey-ue
[Bridge]
(Scat) Oh!
[Verse 3]
In this heart of mine
He says Sweet Sue
