In A Mellow Tone (Vocal Version) - The Ike Isaacs Trio/Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

In a mellow tone you take it easy every day

Play a melody and life is easy every way

In a mellow tone pretty soon the smoother you go

In a mellow key pretty soon you hear pretty soon you know

In a mellow style and when you sing

A joy to hear you might as well make it swing

Life's a melody just listen

To please the ear see what you're missin' not swingin' constantly

In a mellow tone you oughta keep it soft and low

There's a mellow glow you needn't holler loud you know

Some kind of mellow moan pretty soon you're livin' on love

Sort of indigo pretty days ahead pretty skies above

A song of love I'm talkin' 'bout love

And love alone I'm talkin' 'bout life

A melody I'm talkin' 'bout livin'

In a mellow tone

Mellowly mellowly mellowly

Whatever you say to me

Try to say it mellowly and pretty oh yeah

Mother nature sings ain't nothin' heard sweeter than a song

For every single little ear that nature singin' all day long

Be certain the note you choose to play

Life is a melody played by a natural band

Sing a melody nice to hear

No sense in goofin' up the tempo

But if you really wanna draw a crowd

Get a little louder ev'rybody gonna dig

Why holler out loud ev'rybody listen while you're blowin' off your wig

'N' hoopin''n' yellin''n'

Screamin' to say

Later when you're lookin' back an' diggin' what you said

Nothin' ever meanin' nothin' ever

Then you realize you really talkin' out your head

Just retain your poise

Ev'ry little flower got it's beauty showin' listen by the

Hour let me hear it growin'

Make a pretty noise

Ev'ry little mama full of life is worth it's weight in gold

A plenty pretty music I've known

Ev'rybody listen ev'rybody gonna dig

Was it the mellow tone

Ev'rybody listen ev'rybody gotta hear

You'll dig what's hap'nin' to me if you break down an' listen to me

Slow an' easy an' mellow an' breezy an' bright just right

Yeah say it mellow and people will listen and learn more

Sweet 'n' low the longer the road you know

Each sound anybody puttin' down

Gotta be their very own in a mellow tone

Light 'n' fluffy as a cloud never very loud

Do you sing it sweet 'n' mellow seldom ever in a bellow

And you're really gonna see

Ev'rything ya sing 'n' ev'rything ya do is gonna hang around a little while

Because it really is true if I ever get blue I know I do

And so do you

I never worry a minute cuz I know don't you know

The blues are multicolored all dependin' how you dig 'em

Dependin' on your outlook

Well lemme see weary blues sad blues bad blues false blues

All kinds of blues plenty of diff'rent kinds of hues

Yeah sure the only blues that we know is indigo

A song of love a song of love and love alone

And love alone we're singin' our song

We will be singin' in the mellowest old tone

In a mellow tone with a feelin' of our own
