Ella Fitzgerald - Porgy And Bess

What You Want Wid Bess?

Why do you want Bess?
She's gettin' old now
Takes a fine young girl for to satisfy Crown
Look at this chest, and look at these arms you've got

You know how it's always been with me
These five years I've been your woman
You could kick me in the street, then when you wanted me back
You could whistle, and there I was
Back again, lickin' your hand
There's plenty better lookin' girls than Bess

Can't you see I'm with Porgy?
Now and forever
I am his woman, he would die without me
Oh, crown, won't you let me go to my man, to my man?
He is a cripple and needs my love, all my love

Why do you want Bess? Oh, let me go to my man
Why do you want Bess?
