(Level III) Written by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg and Vernon Duke. With a special thanks to Count Basie, this one can really cook! A different beginning with the Basie "One more time!" shout chorus, then a modulation back to the first verse. An open spot for a vocal or instrumental solo, then it’s back to Bill Basie for the famous repeat finish.
