If I wrote history and could pocket a moment for me it would be singin' with the big bands I would turn back the clock for the time we'll be in for a shock hearin me singin' with the big bands if I had me a genie inside Aladdin's lamp I'd tell him do your thing and like that I would be at the Paramount in '43 and I sing ringin' in the good times swingin' with the big boys singin' with the big bands singin' with the big bands If I had me a genie inside Aladdin's lamp I'd tell him Mr. Genie go on and do your thing and like that I would be at the Paramount in '43 and I sing ringin' in the good times singin' with the big boys wingin' it in swing time bringing back the big nose I'm jumpin with the Duke stoppin with the King cooler than the Kid swinging everything I'm singin' with the big bands
