Nat “King” Cole

When you're all alone, any old night
And you're feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon

Underneath the bright, silverly light
You'll be feeling better soon
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon

Look, look, look at the stars above
Look, look, look at those sweeties love
Oh boy, give me a night in June
We mean it

All you've gotta do, any old night
When you're feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon

What do you do in the evening
When you don't know what to do
Read a book, play a game
Every night is just the same

What do you say if I tell you
How to keep from feelin' blue
My advice is good to take
And it's easier to do

Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out and get under the moon

Look, look, look at the stars above
Look, look, look at those sweeties love
Oh boy, give me a night in June
We mean it

All you've gotta do, any old night
When you're feeling out of tune
Pick up your hat and close up your flat
Get out, get under the moon

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.
