To Be Or Not To Be
Melodi: Leo Mathisen - Tekst: Erik Parker - Fra: 1941
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
May this fair dear land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
May this fair dear land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell.
that's the question
but not to me,
because I know I'll always
be in love with you.
I see that you're the one
and I'm positive you'll agree,
because I'll always love you
just the way I do.
I will put it like mister Romeo
when he entered the balcony
he said: Juliet my fiancée
how'd you like to marry me?
To be or not to be
that's the question
but not to me,
because I know that very soon we'll be
a happy family.
