Tommy Dorsey

Thomas Francis "Tommy" Dorsey, Jr. (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was an American jazz trombonist, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader of the Big Band era. He was known as "The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing", due to his smooth-toned trombone playing. Although he was not known for being a notable soloist, his technicality with the trombone gave him renown amongst other musicians. He was vastly admired by other musicians, however, for his technical skill on his instrument. He was the younger brother of bandleader Jimmy Dorsey. After Dorsey broke with his brother in the mid-1930s, he led an extremely popular and highly successful band from the late 1930s into the 1950s. more »

Don't even go to a movie show
If you're not by my side
I stay home by my radio
But I'm satisfied
All my flirtin' days are gone
On the level from now on

Don't go for any excitement now
Books are my best company
All my opinions have changed somehow
Old-fashioned as can be
When you really learn to care
There's a thrill in Solitaire

Keepin' out of mischief now
Really am in love, and how!
I'm through playing with fire
It's you whom I desire

All the world can plainly see
You're the only one for me
I've told them in advance
They can't break up our romance
Living up to every vow
I'm keepin' out of mischief now

All the world can plainly see
That you're the only one for me
Say I've told them, told them in advance
That they can't break up our romance
Living up to every vow
I'm keepin', keepin' out of mischief now
