letra de the real american folk song (is a rag) - ella fitzgerald
near barcelona, the peasant crooned
the old traditional spanish tunes
the neapolitan street song sighs
you think of italian skys
each nation has a creative vein
originating a native strain
with folk songs plaintive and others g-y
in their own peculiar way
american folk songs, i feel
have a much stronger appeal
the real american folksong is a rag
a mental jag
a rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues
the critics called it a “joke song” but now
they’ve changed their tune, and they like it, somehow
for it’s innoculated with a syncopated sort of meter, sweeter
than a cl-ssic strain, boy you can’t remain, still or quiet, for it’s a riot
the real american folksong
is like a fountain of youth
you taste, and it elates you, and then, invigorates you
the real american folksong, the m-sses coaxed on, is a rag
the real american folksong is a rag
a mental jag
a rhythmic tonic for the chronic blues
the critics called it a “joke song” but now
they’ve changed their tune, and they like it, somehow
for it’s innoculated with a syncopated sort of meter, sweeter
than a cl-ssic strain, boy you can’t remain, still or quiet, for it’s a riot
the real american folksong
is like a fountain of youth
you taste, and it elates you, and then, invigorates you
the real american folksong, is a rag
