You Turned the Tables on Me is a 1936 popular song composed by Louis Alter with lyrics by Sidney D. Mitchell. It was written for the film Sing, Baby, Sing, where Alice Faye performed it on screen, and soon became a hit in a Benny Goodman and His Orchestra recording with Helen Ward on the vocal refrain. The single, released by Victor (25391), blends traditional pop and swing and runs about 2 minutes and 46 seconds. It climbed the charts, reaching No. 3 on Your Hit Parade in November 1936, and has since become a standard covered by many artists, including Goodman again with Martha Tilton for The Benny Goodman Story soundtrack.
