Ella Fitzgerald - Shiny Stockings lyrics

Lyrics to Shiny Stockings Ella Fitzgerald's Lyrics to Frank Foster's composition, "Shiny Stockings" As sung by Ella and played by the Count Basie Orchestra - Transcribed by Todd Loney, just for the love of Ella. Those silk shiny stockings that I wear when I'm with you, I wear cause you told me that you dig that crazy hue. Do we think of romance, when we go to a dance? Oh no! You take a glance – at those shiny stockings. Then came along some chick with great big stockings too. When you changed your mind about me, why I never knew. I guess I'll have to find, a new, a new kind, A guy who digs my shiny stockings too! (Half rest, then Basie piano lead - measured.)(Piano/reed section call and response.) (Basie piano/bra** repeat call and response. Reeds join in. Crescendo, then diminuendo.) (Thad Jones muted trumpet lead- moderate soft.)(Muted trumpet/reeds call and response.) (Muted trumpet/bra** repeat call and response. Reeds join. Crescendo.) (Explosive drum solo, half rest, and then big band explodes.) Shiny stockings! Shiny stocking. (Band jams! Then diminuendo.) Then came along some chick with great big stockings too. When you changed your mind about me, why I never knew. I guess I'll have to find, a new, a new kind, A guy who digs my shiny stockings too! A new guy who'll dig my shiny stockings too!
