’Bout TimeLouis Armstrong

'Bout time, 'bout time we had little taste of wasted time
Like love a deux, I wasted time alone with you
'Bout time we two we're livin' out a lovely dream come true
'Bout you, 'bout me, 'bout love, yes

'Bout time, 'bout time we spent good time with no one near
To watch me while I say a little somethin' in your ear
'Bout how I care, 'bout how I wanna make my feelin's clear
About you, 'bout me, 'bout love

We're in deep water, darlin', clear over my head
'Bout time to either sink or swim, let's swim, 'nuff said

'Bout time, 'bout time we didn't have to always steal a kiss
'Bout time, 'bout time I had my arms around your waste like this
My whole life through I wanna make you feel the way I do
'Bout you, 'bout me, 'bout love

Yes, we're in deep water, darlin', clear over my head
'Bout time to either sink or swim, let's swim, 'nuff said

'Bout time, yes time, we didn't have to always steal a kiss
'Bout time, time, I had my arms around your waste like this
My whole life through, I wanna make you feel the way I do
'Bout you, about me, 'bout us, ooo-eee
About your love and mine, budd-lee-ooo, 'bout time

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
