J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!

This classic 50's tune made famous by Nat King Cole has remained a crowd pleaser even to this day. This arrangement stays true to the original midtempo swing style, with tight jazz harmonies and an alto soloist. It's the perfect change-of-pace tune after a hard hitting rock or pop opener.

Instrumentation: Piano/Bass/Guitar/Drums/Synth/3 Tpts/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor & Bari Sax

I was walking along, minding my business, 
When out of the orange colored sky, 
Flash, bam, alacazam, Wonderful you came by. 

I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine, 
When out of that orange colored view 
Wham, bam, alacazam, I got a look at you. 

One look and I yelled timber 
Watch out for flying glass. 
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out 
I went into a spin and I started to shout 
I've been hit, This is it, this is it, this is it. 

I was walking along minding my business 
When love came and hit me in the eye 
Flash, bam, alacazam, 
Out of the orange colored sky 

Well, one look and I yelled timber 
Watch out for flying glass. 
Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out 
I went into a spin and I started to shout 
I've been hit, This is it, this is it, this is it. 

I was walking along minding my business 
When love came and hit me in the eye 
Flash, bam, alacazam, 
Out of the orange colored, purple striped, 
Pretty green polka-dot sky 
Flash, bam, alacazam, 
And goodbye!

(Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole)
