TAKE A TIP FROM THE WHIPPOORWILL
(Jerry Livingston; Nick Kenny; Charles Kenny)
As recorded by Jimmy Dorsey and His Orchestra with vocal chorus by Helen O'Connell, Decca (2727 B), 1939.

Take a tip from the whippoorwill.
Sing a song; get a thrill.
Worrying never paid a bill,
So take a little tip from the whippoorwill.

Take a note from each melody.
Whistle it in any key.
Love won't find its way until
You take a little tip from the whippoorwill.

Skies will clear up.
Dry your eyes and cheer up.
Good time's coming.
Check your blues and start in humming.

Take a chance on a little nest
For the one you love the best.
Step right up and try your skill.
Just take a little tip from the whippoorwill.
