Always True To You In My Fashion (2/8/56) - Ella Fitzgerald

If a custom tailored vet

Asks me out for something wet

When the vet begins to pet--i cry hooray

But I’m always true to you, darlin', in my fashion

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin', in my way

I’ve been asked to have a meal

By a big tycoon in steel

If the meal includes a deal, accept I may

But I’m always true to you, darlin', in my fashion

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin', in my way

There’s an oil man known as tex

Who is keen to give me checks

And his checks, I fear, means that tex is here to stay

But I’m always true to you, darlin', in my fashion

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin', in my way

From ohio mister thorn

Calls me up from night till morn

Mister thorn once cornered corn and that ain’t hay

But I’m always true to you, darlin', in my fashion

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin', in my way

From milwaukee mister fritz

Often dines me at the ritz

Mister fritz invented schlitz and schlitz must pay

But I’m always true to you, darlin', in my fashion

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin', in my way

Mister harris, plutocrat, wants to give my cheek a pat

If the harris pat means a paris hat, pay, pay!

But I’m always true to you, darlin', in my fashion

Yes, I’m always true to you, darlin', in my way
