a mellow tone,
play a melody
In a mellow tone,
in a mellow key,
in a mellow style, a joy to hear,
cause life is a melody
to please the ear
in a mellow tone
there's a mellow glow
it's some kind of mellow
moan
Sword of indigo,
a song of love,
and love alone,
I'm just talking about living in
a mellow tone.
Mellowly, mellowly, mellowly.
Whatever you say to me,
try to say it mellowly,
cause Mother Nature sings for
every single little ear.
Be certain that now it's
you to choose to play.
Sing a melody nice to hear.
But if you really want to draw a crowd,
why holler out loud?
And wooing and hollering and yelling
and screaming to say
Nothing ever meaning nothing ever
Just retain your poise
Make a pretty noise
I'll tell you plenty pretty music
I've known I was in that mellow tone
Everybody listen,
everybody gotta hear you dig what's happening to me
if you break down and listen to me
slow and easy and mellow and breezy and bright, just right
Oh yeah, so you bellow and people will listen and learn more,
sweet and low, the longer the road, you know.
Each sound anybody's putting down's
gotta be their very own
in a mellow tone.
Light and fluffy as a cloud,
never very light.
Do you sing it sweet and mellow,
seldom ever in a ballo,
and you really ought to see.
Everything you sing
and everything you do's
gotta hang around a little while,
because it really isn't true.
If I ever get blue, I know I do,
and so do you.
I never worry a minute,
cause I know, don't you know,
So the blues are multi -coloured,
are dependent, how you take them
and dependent on your outlook
Well let me see you wearing blues,
sad blues, bad blues, false blues,
all kinds of blues,
funny different kinds you use, yeah sure
The only blue that we
know is indigo
We've been playing a song of love
And really, really, truly love alone
We're playing in the mellowest old tone
And we're the feeling of our own,
oh yeah, in a melo -tone
