[00:14.78]In a mellow tone you take it easy every day
[00:18.68]Play a melody and life is easy every way
[00:22.56]In a mellow tone
[00:24.16]Pretty soon the smoother you go
[00:26.64]In a mellow key
[00:28.06]Pretty soon you hear
[00:29.52]Pretty soon you know
[00:30.53]In a mellow style and when you sing
[00:34.38]A joy to hear you might as well make it swing
[00:38.16]Life's a melody just listen
[00:42.06]See what you're missin not swingin' constantly
