You'd Better Know It   Ellington Birthday Jam

words and music by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington as performed by The Yalloppin Hounds

Zajj darling, we're in love it appears, and I surely want to thank you... But if you get ideas.... I'll surely have to spank you! *** I belong to you, and now I know I show it, You belong to me, and you'd better know it! Give me all your love...sweet sugar, spice, and honey, But don't ever quit... not for love or money! I'd do most anything... just to amuse you, But there's nothing that i wouldn't do... rather than lose you.... When I play the game I can't afford to blow it, cuz I play for keeps, and you'd better know it!!
