The Late Late ShowNat “King” Cole

Gee it's cosy in the park tonight
When you cuddle up and hold me tight
Stars above, they seem to know
We're puttin' on the late late show!

Hear the crazy music in the trees
See the flowers dancin' in the breeze
Old man moon begins to glow
He's joinin' in the late late show!

Birds that should be dreamin'
Start in chirpin' a song
While fireflies are gleamin'
We kiss, ooh, kiss, ooh, all night long!

Then we amble back to my front door
Say goodnight and then we kiss some more!
Guess you know I like you so
It started at the late late show!

It's so cosy in the park tonight
When you cuddle up and hold me tight
Stars above, they seem to know
We're puttin' on the late late show!

Hear the crazy music in the trees
See the flowers dancin' in the breeze
Old man moon begins to glow
He's joinin' in the late late show!

Birds that should be dreamin'
Start in chirpin' a song
While fireflies are gleamin'
We kiss, ooh, kiss, ooh, all night long!

Then we amble back to my front door
Say goodnight and then we kiss some more!
Guess you know I like you so
It started at the late, late, late, late, late, late
At the late late show!

Nat “King” Cole

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.
