No Strings

Ella Fitzgerald · Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Irving Berlin Songbook, Vol. 2 [1990]

I wake up every morning with a smile on my face

Everything in its place as it should be

I start out every morning just as free as the breeze

My cares upon the shelf because I find myself with



No strings and no connections, no ties to my affections

I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy

No dates that can't be broken, no words that can't be spoken

Especially when I am feeling romancy



Like a robin upon a tree, like a sailor that goes to sea

Like an unwritten melody, I'm free, that's me

So bring on the big attraction, my decks are cleared for action

I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy



Like a robin upon a tree, like a sailor that goes to sea

Like an unwritten melody, I'm free, that's me

So bring on the big attraction, my decks are cleared for action

I'm fancy free and free for anything fancy
