A Foggy Day lyrics
by George Gershwin
[Preamble: Louis Armstrong]
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
[Chorus: Louis Armstrong]
A foggy day in London town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
Yes, for suddenly, baby, I saw you there
And through the foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere
[Chorus: Ella Fitzgerald]
A foggy day in London town
Had me low and it had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, how long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles hadn't passed
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere
[Trumpet half Chorus: Louis Armstrong]
[Chorus: Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong]
How long I wondered (oh yeah)
Could this thing last (swing it, Ella)
But the age of miracles (oh yeah), hadn't passed (yeah)
For suddenly (scat), I saw you there (scat)
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining (oh baby) everywhere (scat)
