In the Wikipedia discussion of this song, there are 6 X 16, plus 12, measures, for a total of 108. This is how many I count in Ella Fitzgerald's version (from the Cole Porter songbook). In the version on Songtrellis, there are many more than that, perhaps twice that many (I didn't count). Is this just going through the whole song twice, or perhaps follows the Artie Shaw arrangement? Can I just use the first 108 measures and assume it follows Ella's version (not counting the introductory measure or two)?

Thanks.
