Listen My Children (And You Shall Hear)

Listen my children and you shall hear Of the strangest thing They say that I was born to swing Listen my children and you shall hear How I got the craze From rocking in my cradle days Now all the kids would go to sleep like other sons and daughters But not for me, my mother had to sing me Muddy Waters Listen my children, though love is king I can get along as long as there's a song to swing Listen my children, though love is king I can get along I can get along I can swing my song As long as there's a song to swing As long as there's a song to swing --- Listen My Children (And You Shall Hear) - Count Basie
