Killin’ Myself
Duke Ellington
[Verse]
Killin' myself
Killin' myself
Standing on a corner dressed to kill
I'm a natural born, a killer deal
I'm killin' myself
(I know you're doing your best, baby)
Yes, I'm killin' myself
(Well, alright)
I'm a natural borner, dressed to kill
Killin' myself
(Don't do that)
It's a yes, sir
Killin' myself
(I don't dig you)
Charging my head and knockin' 'em dead
I'm killin' myself
(What ward you gon' be in?)
Busting my conk on honky tonk
Killin' myself
(Really)
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi
Charging my head
Knockin' 'em dead, killin' myself
Yee, yee, yee
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Busting my conk
Honky tonk, killin' myself
Killin' myself
Killin' myself
