Gotta Be This Or That
Benny Goodman Benny Goodman and His Orchestra & Jane Harvey Lyrics
If you ain't wrong, you're right
If it ain't day, it's night
If you ain't sure, you might
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't dry, it's wet
If you ain't got, you get
If it ain't gross, it's net
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't sis, you can't miss
It's got to be your brother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One way or the other
If it ain't full, it's blank
If you don't spend, you bank
If it ain't Dee, it's Frank
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't day, it's night
If you ain't sure, you might
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't dry, it's wet
If you ain't got, you get
If it ain't gross, it's net
Gotta be this or that
It's got to be your brother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One way or the other
If it ain't full, it's blank
If you don't spend, you bank
If it ain't Dee, it's Frank
Gotta be this or that

I understand all the requests you receive to remaster these treasures. You do such a great job preserving the original arrangement and enhancing it with the DES so that it sounds like a current recording and is a pleasure to listen to. I am sure Benny would approve !
Bob Zwolinski
Thank you Roger!!! When one of my subscribers from the middle of England turned me on to this one yesterday, I jumped right on it! The arrangement is simply incredible! I love it when Benny sings. The way he lays back on the phrasing is so good. Then when Jo stepped up to the mic, I yelled with glee. THEN Ella did her thing and I jumped for joy! Thanks again Roger! I KNEW you'd appreciate this one!
Chuck Par-Due
How great Harry James and Doc Severinsen on the same performance!
Bob Zwolinski
Thank you Chuck for stopping by and giving it a listen! So much appreciated! Glad you liked it! Indeed! I flipped the 1st time I saw this video and saw Harry stand up and do that quick solo. Only to be surprised by Doc's visage as well! So much incredible top talent rolled-up into this 4-minute 40-second TV performance!

Spetecular my friend!!! I like Benny and his band very much. Very exciting hearing this good old swing tune in stereo.
Bob Zwolinski
Thank you Géza! I LOVE this Benny Goodman arrangement! I was happy to be able to restore as much audio as I did! Thank you again my friend!
Al Biondi

Thank you Al for stopping by! Much appreciated!

Love this Bob , may be from 1958.....could have been from anytime in the 1940s , great music never dates . DES STEREO made the brass jump out for me , so fresh . People could sing in those days as well , and the stars never took themselves too seriously either ! Happier times ❤
David Munday
@Bob Zwolinski Well Bob , it obviously has not adversely affected your love of music ( quite rightly ) Thank you for your..........infectious enthusiasm sir ! We both look forward to your time machine uploads !
