Let’s Begin Lyrics by Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Jerome Kern Songbook

0

[Intro]
Before I met you no one attracted me
No love thoughts worried or distracted me
My disposition kept exempting me
Until you started in preempting me
And all this while, you've really been tempting me
Maybe you can tell me what we ought to do

[Verse]
Now that you've got me going, what you gonna do?
Is it up to me, is it up to you?
What kind of game is this we've begun?
Was it done just for fun?

[Chorus]
We have necked 'til I'm wrecked
Won't you tell me what you expect?
Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell?
Folly and farewell, heaven or maybe hell
Which is it going to be, love or gin?
Wife or sin? Let's begin

[Chorus]
We have necked till I'm wrecked
Won't you tell me what you expect?
Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell?
Folly and farewell, heaven or maybe hell
Which is it going to be, love or gin?
Wife or sin? Let's begin
