Give A Little, Get A Little - Ella Fitzgerald

I’m on the beam, I’ve got a flash

On how to live in the civilisation

To make a dream come out of hash

Give a little get a little love

A morning smile, an evening kiss

Can be the pills for the ills of the nation

Don’t cramp your style, remember this

Give a little get a little love

No love, no hope

Then life’s a dungeon so throw the sponge in With love there’s hope

Sing hey hallelu-

So take a share and share the fun

And keep the cold from this whole constellation

It’s everywhere for everyone

Make a little take a little

Take a little live a little

Give a little get a little love

You carry on, tied in a knot

To earn the pay that your neighbour is earning

But when it’s gone, what have you got?

Give a little get a little love

You never think, till there’s a storm

And till the real things you feel like returning

You know that mink won’t keep you warm

Give a little get a little love

No love, no joy

Then life’s a nuisance and not worth two cents

With love, there’s joy

Sing hey hallelu-

So take a share and share the fun

And keep the cold from this whole constellation

It’s everywhere for everyone

Make a little take a little

Take a little live a little

Give a little get a little love

No joy, no joy

Give a little, get a little,

Give a little get a little

Make a little take a little

Live a little give a little

Give a little get a little love
