A pretty Girl Is Like a Melody
Today’s recording features a 1919 tune by Irving Berlin that has been used by many in various ways. I take it at a slow tempo, play the melody, sing a chorus, and make a cornet solo before a short cornet and trumpet ending.
A pretty girl is like a melody
That haunts you night and day
Just like the strain of a haunting refrain
She'll start upon a marathon
And run around your brain
You can't escape, she's in your memory.
By morning, night and noon
She will leave you and then come back again,
A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune
