Louis Armstrong Lyrics
"What A Wonderful World"

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"

I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Oh yeah
=================================================
Spoken intro to "What a Wonderful World" (1970 version)

Some of you young folks been saying to me, "Hey Pops, what you mean 'What a wonderful world'? How about all them wars all over the place? You call them wonderful? And how about hunger and pollution? That aint so wonderful either." Well how about listening to old Pops for a minute. Seems to me, it aint the world that's so bad but what we're doin' to it. And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance. Love baby, love. That's the secret, yeah. If lots more of us loved each other, we'd solve lots more problems. And then this world would be a gasser. That's wha' ol' Pops keeps saying.

One of my favorites. I have friend who nails this in karoke in the Louis Armstrong voice. To look at him you would never guess that voice could come out of him. He did it at my daughters wedding.

After he performed it I asked my brother who is a Armstrong fan what he thought. He said you don't hear many DJ's play that song did you request it? I said no that was Tommy singing He must have not been watching the stage and was talking so he thought it was a recording. He wouldn't believe me until our friend Tommy did it again.

Brother IZ combined this with 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. Both versions are absolutely killer.

I, once upon a time was a student in the 7th grade. Not the burbs, a little town in Arizona. My teacher that year, homeroom teacher, was an older widow woman that dearly loved Satchmo music.
She gave us an education in a subgenre that would probably never have occured otherwise.
I cut her weeds and grass in her sad little space for a few years until she went to a home.
One thing she did for us knuckleheads, was introduce this song to us. I cannot hear it without picturing Mrs. Wells. A hardscrabble, dutiful old widow,tough as a rawhide boot. RIP Mrs. Ruth Wells
