The great Harold Arlen wrote this for an unsuccessful Broadway play. But you can't keep a good song down. This has been recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman and many more. Here is a treatment that begins with the choir in unison for the first two verses establishing an easy swing style. The bridge keeps swinging but with tight harmony and it is followed by a dynamite choral scat section. It goes out swinging as hard as it began but with hip, jazzy harmony and a Basie ending.

It was always a beautiful day in the neighborhood with Mister Rogers and the iconic and positive songs that he wrote reflect that. Here is one of the great songs set in an easy swing style. Fred Rogers remains popular and the new movie starring Tom Hanks lifts up the profile of his spirit even more. The time is right to get your choir into the neighborhood.

Unlike the original ballad heard in the opera Porgy and Bess and sung by a high soprano, here is an easy swing rendition and placed in a key that is comfortable for developing voices. The section with a written out scat solo can be easily repeated for those choirs learning to improvise.
