在录制《Things Ain't What They Used To Be》时，Duke Ellington突发奇想，将小号手Cootie Williams的口哨声融入旋律中。这一创意在录音棚中引发了一场即兴演奏狂欢，连乐队成员都陶醉其中。完成录制后，Ellington曾笑称：“这首歌就像一场即兴的爵士乐派对，每个人都在其中找到了自己的位置。”

[00:39.56]Got so weary of bein' nothin'

[01:06.15]Felt so dreary just doin' nothin'

[01:15.42]Didn't care ever gettin' nothin' felt so low

[01:32.93]Now my eyes on the far horizon can see a glow

[01:39.56]Announcin' things ain't what they used to be

[01:45.17]No use bein' a doubtin' Thomas

[01:53.47]No ignorin' that rosy promise

[02:28.81]It's the dawn of a day of glorymillennium

[02:33.69]I tell you things ain't what they used to be
