Nat “King” Cole

Just for the fun of it
Just to be gay
You made me care for you
Then you went away
I ask you was it fair when I was fancy free?
To make me fall for you then make a fool out of me?

Just for the fun of it
Just for a thrill
You said goodbye to love
But I never will

You may be sorry when we're far apart
Then just for the fun of it you broke my heart

(interlude)

Just for the fun of it
Just for a laugh
You made goodbye to love my heart's epitaph
You may be sorry when we're far apart
Then just for the fun of it you broke my heart

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
