One two
One two button your shoe
Put on your coat and hat
I’ll play a game like that
While I’m waiting for youThree four open the door
Hurry for heaven’s sake
I count each step you take
While I’m waiting for youFive six my eyes are fixed
On that picture of your charm
Seven eight you’re at the gate
And you walk into my armsNine ten kiss me again
Tell me you get a thrill
Just as I hope you will
While I’m waiting for you(bridge)
Five six my eyes are fixed
On that picture of your charm
Seven eight you’re at the gate
And you walk into my armsNine ten kiss me again
Tell me you get a thrill
Just as I hope you will
While I’m waiting for you

to be checked
Cozy Cole: [Come on fellas, one, two…]
Billie Holiday: [Well what are you tryin’ to do?
Get on back to them drums, I’ll start this band
One, two…]
One, two button your shoe
Put on your coat and hat
I’ll play a game like that
While I’m waiting for you
Three, four open the door
Hurry for heaven’s sake
I count each step you take
While I’m waiting for you
Five six my heart does tricks
As I picture all your charms
Seven eight you’re at the gate
And you walk into my arms
Nine, ten kiss me again
Tell me you get a thrill
Just as I hope you will
While I’m waiting for you
Five, six my heart does tricks
As I picture all your charms
Seven, eight you’re at the gate
And you walk into my arms
Nine, ten kiss me again
Tell me you get a thrill
Just as I hope you will
While I’m waiting for you
