"He's funny that way"

iPodにビリー・ホリデイの"He's funny that way"を入れてある。３枚のレコード作成のために録音された各２回のテイクで計６演奏。ビッグバンドでスウィングが２スタイル、ピアノトリオでバラード風が１スタイルと、レコードごとにスタイルが違うのだが、その違いがびっくりするほど。そしてまた、その３スタイルの中でのテイク毎の差の面白さ。だからジャズはやめられない。このところ、朝から通勤の車の中で聴いて一人でにやしやしている。


Once he dressed in tweads and drapes
On the rolls royce car
Now he seems quite out of place
Like a fallen star
While I worry
Plan and sceme
Over what to do
Can't help feeling
It's a dream
He's just too good to be true

I'm not much to look at
I'm nothing to see
I'm glad I'm living on a dime
And lucky to be

But I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that way

I ain't got a dollar
Can't save a cent
He doesn't hollar
He'd live in a tent
I've got that man mad about me
He's funny that way

Lord he loves work and slave
For me every day
He'd be so much better off
If I went away
But why should I leave him
Why should I go
He'd be un happy
Without me I know
I've got that man crazy for me
He's funny that way
