CAN'T WE GET TOGETHER? Words, Andy Razaf; music, Thomas "Fats" Waller and Harry Brooks. ©1929. From "Connie's Hot Chocolates" Revue. As recorded by Irving Mills & His Hotsy Totsy Gang, 1929. Why can't we be more democratic? You always answer me with static. I'm askin': can't we get together now? Why do you treat me like a stranger? One kiss will take away the danger. I'm askin': can't we get together now? Say yes and I will show you action. I guarantee you satisfaction. Why must you keep me at a distance? I'm doggone tired of your resistance. I'm askin': can't we get together now? I can't help thinking there is a missing verse, but I can't find a vocal recording that has it. Another early recording was made by The Dixie Daisies, 1929. Later recordings were made by: Chris Barber's Jazz Band (instrumental) Joe Sullivan (piano)
