Concerto for Cootie

Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me - Duke Ellington

Do nothing till you hear from me

Pay no attention to what's said

Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream

Is over my head

Do nothing till you hear from me

At least consider our romance

If you should take the word of others you've heard

I haven't a chance

True, I've been seen with someone new

That does that mean, I've been untrue?

While we're apart, all the words in my heart

Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss may cloud my memory

And other arms may hold a thrill

But please do nothing till you hear it from me

And you never will!
