This is from an Abbot & Costello movie. Costello asks her, "Was It Cerise?" [Cherry pink/Red]. Notice if you are analyzing this according to the time, these were like music videos and the portion with an African American singer like Ella could be removed for southern audiences without disrupting the storyline. Notice that Ella never sits anywhere but the back of the bus and how she does not appear in any other part of the movie. Even though Ella was a rising star she had to remain in her place.

Do not talk to driver

while vehicle is in motion

(Thankfully, Ella has no time for being pedantic.)

Belated 98th birthday to Van Alexander, original arranger and composer of a jazz version of this song done with and for Ella, thus for Chick Webb Orchestra. Van is also a mentor of Johnny Mandel. Legacy lives on!
