[ Featuring Fats Waller ]
Take it easy, be a sport
Just remember life is short
If you've got to take it
Take it easy
Never hurry to a date
Eat your supper; let 'em wait
Don't get indegestion
Take it easy
Go stick your chest out
And rest out
Of doors in the sun
Lay off
You'll pay off
In plenty of fun
So don't be one to tear your hair
If your girl gives you the air
If she makes you take it,
Take it easy!
