I'm working on "New Orleans Shuffle", which was composed and performed by
the Halfway House Orchestra (Jazz Oracle CD).
I used to play it with a trad band in Bb, but the record is in C (except
for the clarinet solo, which is in Bb). I suspect that Anderson's (Ab, w/Bb
chorus) and Vintage Jazz Standards (Bb) sheets came from Murphy or Watters,
because they just have a 4-bar vamp, whereas the HHO has a 10-bar intro.
Comments?
Anyway, one of "oldies" tunes I like is "Fools fall in love", Drifters,
1957, the melody of which so closely resembles "NO Shuf" that the lyrics
could be used with the latter.

Fools Fall In Love
1.
Fools/ fall in love/ in a hurry.// ////
Fools/ give their hearts/ much too soon./// ////
Just/ play them two/ bars of Star/dust/ ////
Just/ hang out one/ silly moon./// ////
They've/ got their love/ torches Burning.// ///when
They/should be play/ing it cool./// ////
I/ used to laugh,/ but now I/ under stand,/ shake the
Hand/ of a brand/ new/ fool./// ///|
2.
Fools/ fall in love/ just like school girls.// ////
Blind/ed by rose/colored dreams./// ////
They/ build their cas/tles on wish/es/ ////
With/ only rain/bows for Beams./// ////
They're/ making plans/ for the future// ///when
They/ should be right/ back in school./// ////
I/ used to laugh,/ but now I/ under stand,/ shake the
Hand/ of a Brand/ new/ fool./// ///|
ending: 4bar drum tag?
I/ used to laugh,/ but now I/ under stand,/ shake the
Hand/ of a Brand/ new/ fool./// ///|
