A certain maid I know, is so afraid her boy Will never ask her, will she name the day He calls on her each night, and when she dims the light It's ten to one that you would hear her say Oh Joseph, Joseph, won't you make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can stop and wind up Each time we make up after being through So listen Joseph, Joseph time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mother has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Oh Joseph, won't you name the day Name the day, name the day Oh Joseph, make your mind up It's time I knew just how I stand with you My heart's no clock that I can wind up Oh Joseph, each time we make up after being through Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, time is fleeting And here and there my hair is turning grey My mama has a fear, wedding bells I'll never hear Oh Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, won't you name the day

He's A Tramp 04:09
He's a tramp But they love him Breaks a new heart Ev'ry day He's a tramp They adore him And I only hope He'll stay that way He's a tramp He's a scoundrel He's a rounder He's a cad He's a tramp But I love him Yes, even I Have got it pretty bad You can never tell When he'll show up He gives you Plenty of trouble Guess he's just a No 'count pup But I wish that he Were double He's a tramp He's a rover And there's nothing More to say If he's a tramp He's a good one And I wish that I Could travel his way

Les fleurs palissent Le feu s'éteint L'ombre se glisse Dans le jardin L'horloge tisseftg Des sons très las Je crois entendre ton pas Le vent m'apporte Des bruits lointains Guettant ma porte J'écoute en vain Helas, plus rien Plus rien ne vient J'attendrai Le jour et la nuit J'attendrai toujours Ton retour J'attendrai Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit Vient chercher l'oubli Dans son nid Le temps passe et court En battant tristement Dans mon coeur si lourd Et pourtant j'attendrai Ton retour Tornerai perché il tuo cuore è preso da un amor Senza i baci tuoi non so se vivere potrò Tornerai da me Perché l'unico sogno sei Del mio cuor Tornerai Tu perché Senza i tuoi baci languidi Non vivrò Ho qui dentro ancor La tua voce Che dice Tremando "amor" Tornerai Perché tuo È il mio cuor

If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to Why don't you go where fashion sits? Puttin' on the ritz Different types of wear a day coat, pants with stripes and cutaway coat Perfect fits, puttin' on the ritz Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super-duper) Come, let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts Puttin' on the ritz Have you seen the well-to-do, up and down Park Avenue? On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air? High hats and arrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars Spending every dime for a wonderful time If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to Why don't you go where fashion sits? Puttin' on the ritz Different types of wear a day coat, pants with stripes and cutaway coat Perfect fits, puttin' on the ritz Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super-duper) Come, let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks or umbrellas in their mitts Puttin' on the ritz Dressed up like a million-dollar trooper Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super-duper) If you're blue, and you don't know where to go to Why don't you go where fashion sits? Puttin' on the ritz, puttin' on the ritz Puttin' on the ritz, puttin' on the ritz Downtown, uptown, get your kicks at the Ritz Dine and wine, but not 'til nine, the time is right for us tonight We gotta move, move to the rhythm We can Move, dance to the rhythm, nice and easy I want ya to move Puttin' it on, puttin' it on Puttin' it on, puttin' it on The R-I-T-Z How 'bout you and me zest? Gotta dance Gotta dance Gotta dance

Well Monk set it straight It's not a time when you wait You gotta be on, you gotta be strong The time is here, so trust your life to your ear Don't wait for no one, they'll have to grow on Because the homeland is the place where it happens And there's no one who can help you to straight No, no, no, no... This Monk had a way Of being out of his day, ahead of his time Not in the same rhyme with other guys He was uncommonly wise He knew the answer, that time's a dancer He knew you can't back up the moment And take it with you, on the road, So now is the time, yeah...

Petite Fleur 04:09
Si les fleurs Qui bordent les chemins Se fanaient toutes demain Je garderais au cœur Celle qui S'allumait dans tes yeux Lorsque je t'aimais tant Au pays merveilleux De nos seize printemps Petite fleur d'amour Tu fleuriras toujours Pour moi Quand la vie Par moment me trahit Tu restes mon bonheur Petite fleur Sur mes vingt ans Je m'arrête un moment Pour respirer Ce parfum que j'ai tant aimé Dans mon cœur Tu fleuriras toujours Au grand jardin d'amour Petite fleur Dans mon cœur Tu fleuriras toujours Au grand jardin d'amour Petite fleur

Got a little rhythm, a rhythm, a rhythm That pit-a-pats through my brain So darn persistent The day isn't distant When it'll drive me insane Comes in the morning Without any warning And hangs around me all day I'll have to sneak up to it Someday, and speak up to it I hope it listens when I say Fascinating Rhythm You've got me on the go Fascinating Rhythm I'm all a-quiver What a mess you're making The neighbours want to know Why I'm always shaking Just like a flivver Each morning I get up with the sun Start a-hopping Never stopping O find at night no work has been done I know that Once it didn't matter But now you're doing wrong When you start to patter I'm so unhappy Won't you take a day off Decide to run along Somewhere far away off And make it snappy Oh, how I long to be the man I used to be Fascinating Rhythm Oh, won't you stop picking on me

Pannonica 03:51
Softer than silk and as warm as warm milk Light as air and able to fly Lost songs no bliss while they're waiting for her kiss Pannonica my butterfly. Fluttering one fair and bright as the sun Light as wind embrassing the sky Colorful wings soft and gaily painted things Pannonica my butterfly. Like the lovely flowers i'll wait for hours Just to fell that touch the touch i love so much One day she'll flutter by and i'll hold out my hand And capture my butterfly. Deliicate things such as butterfly wings Poets can't describle though they try Love played the tune while she steps from her cacoon Pannonica my lovely, lovely little butterfly.

This suspense is killing me I can't stand uncertainty Tell me now, I got to know Whether you want me to stay or go Love me or leave me and let me be lonely You won't believe me and I love you only I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue I want your love, but I don't want to borrow To have it today, to give back tomorrow For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely You won't believe me and I love you only I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue I want your love, but I don't want to borrow To have it today, to give back tomorrow For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else

Len-te-ment dans le soir Le train s'en va Sur le quai son mou-choir S'en-fuit dé-jà Dans la gla-ce comme un son-ge Le mur gris de sa mai-son Sous le jour qui s'al-lon-ge S'es-tompe à l'ho-ri-zon Un nu-a-ge s'é-ti-re sur son toit bleu, En pas-sant il sem-ble dire, Un triste a-dieu Et tout ce que j'ai-mais Lors-que le train vi-re Dans un flot de fu-mée S'ef-face à ja-mais Couplet Le coeur rem-pli de fièvre Un jour croy-ant trou-ver l'a-mour On fait un beau rê-ve Mais l'o-rage em-por-te vo-tre bon-heur Le beau ro-man s'a-chè-ve Et ser-rant vo-tre c?ur Len-te-ment dans le soir Le train s'en va Sur le quai son mou-choir S'en-fuit dé-jà Dans la gla-ce comme un son-ge Le mur gris de sa mai-son Sous le jour qui s'al-lon-ge S'es-tompe à l'ho-ri-zon Un nu-a-ge s'é-ti-re sur son toit bleu, En pas-sant il sem-ble dire, Un triste a-dieu Et tout ce que j'ai-mais Lors-que le train vi-re Dans un flot de fu-mée S'ef-face à ja-mais

Walked with no one and talked with no one And I had nothing but shadows Then one morning you passed And I brightened at last Now I greet the day and complete the day With the sun in my heart All my worry blew away When you taught me how to say Grab your coat and get your hat Leave your worry on the doorstep Just direct your feet To the sunny side of the street Can't you hear a pitter-pat? And that happy tune is your step Life can be so sweet On the sunny side of the street I used to walk in the shade With those blues on parade But I'm not afraid This Rover crossed over If I never have a cent I'd be rich as Rockefeller Gold dust at my feet On the sunny side of the street Grab your street

about

La Bouche Manouche and I have been playing Gypsy jazz for almost 10 years together, bringing this incredible art form to music lovers far and wide. What really fascinates me about this music is its captivating rhythmic pulse and beautiful melodies and how it ALWAYS puts me in a better mood!

It’s been almost 4 years since the release of our debut album, "Roseland' and so much has happened in that time. Through the good and the bad moments, the unwavering commitment to make meaningful music and connect with people has really helped us make sense of these strange times we are living in. So for our second release, Andy and I decided that we wanted to record an upbeat album, one that would make people want to dance, put a smile on their face and forget their worries.

From Django to Billie Holiday, Sidney Bechet to Monk, Gypsy Jazz to Swing, "Got a Little Rhythm!" takes you on a journey through some of our favourite tunes arranged in our own sassy style. We’d like to think that you can put it on anytime to join us with foot tapping fun, a quick dance, quiet reflection or a good old sing-along!

Cue a bright, sunny day last April, when the band and I headed down to the docklands in East London to record the album. This is where Lightship 95 is moored, a fascinating recording studio which is actually a converted floating lightship painted bright red. Disclaimer : I didn't actually know this at the time of booking the studio and since I get very easily seasick, it could have been a bit of a disaster! BUT…we managed to make the magic happen.

We carefully handpicked these songs and creatively worked our way through them to bring you what we think is a joyous collection of tunes and a celebration of the most important things in life. We hope you love listening to this album as much as we have loved making it.

Keep it jazzy,

Ire x
