Organ Grinder's Swing is a 1936 jazz swing tune composed by Will Hudson with lyrics credited to Mitchell Parish and Irving Mills, published in 1936 and closely associated with the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra - Hudson based the tune on the nursery rhyme I Love Coffee, I Love Tea. Ella Fitzgerald recorded it in November 1936 with her Savoy Eight, and she again recorded it with the Count Basie Orchestra for the 1979 album A Classy Pair. Other contemporary versions were recorded by Benny Goodman, Django Reinhardt, and the Mills Brothers. It was also featured in a 1937 Popeye short titled Organ Grinder's Swing. Jazz organist Jimmy Smith recorded the piece on his 1965 album Organ Grinder Swing, and vibraphonist Milt Jackson performed it live in Tokyo in 1976 with Teddy Edwards, Cedar Walton, Ray Brown and Billy Higgins.
