A friend asked whether I could supply him with the 'dots' for Move the Body Over. It's a simple tune with an easy harmonic progression and is popular with quite a few jazz bands. If you know who wrote it, please let me know. I have been unable to find out. All I know is that George Lewis in the 1950s made it popular with jazz bands.
Here's how it seems to go, according to my ear.
Here's how it seems to go, according to my ear.
Move the body over,
Move the body over,
Move the body over here.
I just want you near me
So that you can hear me
Whisper in your ear.
When you sit beside me
I am feeling grand
Specially when you whisper
"Darling hold my hand”.
"Darling hold my hand”.
Move the body over,
Move the body over,
Move the body over here.
