Artist/Band: Billie Holiday
Lyrics for Song: Eeny Meeny Miney Mo
Lyrics for Album: Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]



Eeny meeny miney mo

Catch your troubles by the toe

If it hollers let it go

Let it fly away



Eeny meeny miney mo

It's the sayin' high and low

Hear it everywhere you go

Any time a day



Big Ben rings it

Vallee sings it

Whitewood swings it

Even Mr. Crosby bings it



Eeny meeny miney mo

Catch your troubles by the toe

If it hollers let it go

Let it fly away


Eeny Meeny Miney Mo

Billie Holiday's rendition of 'Eeny Meeny Miney Mo' stands as a testament to her mastery of vocal improvisation and rhythmic nuance. While the song's lyrics are simple, Holiday transforms it into a complex jazz statement, utilizing her signature crooning style to weave a narrative of playful mischief. Recorded for the 'Complete Masters 1933 - 1959' collection, this track exemplifies her ability to elevate children's rhymes into sophisticated musical performances. Her interpretation showcases the swing and emotional depth characteristic of the Great American Songbook era, demonstrating how she could infuse even the most basic material with profound artistic expression and technical brilliance.
