Chords for Bobby Darin & Jimmy Durante - TV Special Medley

Ladies and gentlemen, _ Mr.
James Durante _ in person. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [Am] You can't [C] start a weekend with a song.
_ _ _ Even when things are [G] wrong. _ _
[E] Why you look better, [Am] you don't even feel better.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
If they hadn't cut off my curls when I was a little kid,
who knows, I might have been another Anna Maria [F] Lisbon. Get out!
_ _ _ _ _ Now don't [C] wait, that you shake my hand. _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F] _
_ Now isn't it better to go to life with a [Fm] smile and a song,
[Ab] and don't walk around with a [E] face, with a [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] moustache.
[N]
Stop the music! _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What is it?
What is it?
Say it.
Oh, I'm a singer.
Now [A] don't wait, that [C] you shake my hand.
_ _ Tell me just where [F] I can't.
_ Now isn't it better to go to life with a smile [Fm] and a song,
and don't [Dm] walk [Am] around with a face, 11 [Em] miles long.
Wait a minute.
[C] _ _ _ Stop [B] the music!
_ Stop the music, this is humiliating.
_ Everybody wants to get into the [F] act.
_ That's right.
_ That's right.
Everybody wants to get into the act, but you want to be the act.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ But you know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Don't try to soft-shove me, Fabian. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Fabian, I'm not Fabian, Jimmy.
I'm Bobby Darin. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Go ahead. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey, that's catchy.
_ [Gb] _ Let me hear that again.
Left hand.
[G] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ It doesn't [N] sound like the same song.
_ _ _ _ Jimmy, I'm sorry I came out the way I did, you know, when Bert introduced you.
But you see, your songs are part of me.
I mean, I wanted to do them all my life.
They're really me.
Well, I'll level with you, son.
You know, I always wanted to do some of your songs.
You know, _ I'm kind of a Splish Splash man myself. _ _ _
_ _ You know something?
That's the real me.
_ [G] Ladies and gentlemen, Splish Splash.
Hit it!
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Am] _ Me fell shy when I was singing this song.
_ On the [G] block [Ab] Saturday night.
_ [C] _ I'd locked up, just relaxing on the top.
[D] _ _ _ _
[G] All right.
_ [C] I almost stepped out of the tub.
Put [Bm] my feet on [F] the floor.
I racked up a towel and I opened the [Em] door.
_ _ Splish Splash, [A] I jumped back in the tub.
[Am] How was I to [C] know that it was a party?
_ _ _ Wait a minute.
Wait [F] a minute.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Stop that snapping.
But Jimmy, I can't sing unless I snap.
But you ain't singing, son.
You're listening.
I can't even listen without snapping. _ _
Wait a minute.
What are you, a turtle? _ _ _ _
_ _ Look, Jimmy, it's very simple.
Just let me show you.
You can make an old song brand new just by snapping a little bit.
Give a listen.
One, two, three.
[Bb] _ _
I [Gm] dink a dink.
I [Bb] dink a dink.
[Bb] I dink a doo. _ _ _ _
Oh, what a tune.
_ [Eb] Rock crew is [Cm] in.
_ Remember that line, eh?
I [F] dink a dink.
I _ [Cm] dink a dink.
I [F] dink a doo. _ _ _ _
It's got the [A] whole world [Bb] _ _
spoonin'.
How [D] about that?
_ You know, _ if a singer like you, _ _ if a singer like you, we all can make mistakes.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
You [D] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ know, if a singer like you busts a finger, _ there goes the whole act. _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [N] _
You know, if you want to make it, kid, you've got to do sing-along songs.
Sing-along songs?
You mean_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Exactly.
Exactly.
Would you give me a for instance?
[Bb] All right.
_ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Ab] _
Come on, baby, you can cut the code.
Say I'm blowin' your whole night [Eb] low.
_ _ Say I'll do the keepin' down.
_ I'll pay the rent. _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Remember that phrase, you hear me?
I drove you off with nothing but a fine [Fm] tin coat.
That's when you were younger.
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ I think [C] I got that.
