Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass - You Took Advantage of Me

A classical jazz standard. Ella sings only the chorus of this tune:

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all.
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will,
You've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow.
So what's the use,
You've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!

I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear.
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near.

Here am I with all my bridges burned,
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned,
So lock the doors
And call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me.

Interesting that the picture is reversed! Joe Pass is right-handed and should be holding the guitar the other way. Still sounds great, hell he could probably play better left-handed that I can right-handed!!!

@guitaradelic Haha, you got me:) i had to reverse one of them, so i chose Joe, because, as a gentleman, he'd probably stay after Ella in the caption;) PS: I think he might be playing better than me, even if he used only one of his hands.. or feet:D
