You Turned the Tables on Me

Popular 1930s song

"You Turned the Tables on Me" is a popular song composed by Louis Alter with lyrics by Sidney D. Mitchell. It was written for the 1936 film Sing, Baby, Sing, in which it was performed by Alice Faye.[1] The song was soon recorded by Benny Goodman (with vocal refrain by Helen Ward) for Victor Records[2] and topped many charts, reaching No. 3 on Your Hit Parade in November of that year.[3][4] Goodman later recorded the song again, this time with vocalist Martha Tilton, for the soundtrack of the 1956 biopic The Benny Goodman Story.[5] It has since been covered many times.
