"Alright, Okay, You Win" is a jazz standard written by Sid Wyche (music) and Mayme Watts (lyrics).[1] It was first recorded in 1955 by several artists including Ella Johnson, The Modernaires, Bill Farrell, and Count Basie, but failed to chart nationally.[2][3] Peggy Lee's 1958 recording (Capitol 45-19202) reached number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100 list.[4] It has since become a jazz standard,[5] which has been recorded by numerous artists.
Paul McCartney can be heard singing some lyrics from it as he prepares to record a take of the song "You Never Give Me Your Money". The recording is featured on the 50th Anniversary Edition of Abbey Road.
