| [00:14.720] |
You get a shiver in the dark |
| [00:16.440] |
It's raining in the park but meantime |
| [00:21.900] |
South of the river you stop and you hold everything |
| [00:29.080] |
A band is blowing Dixie double four time |
| [00:35.600] |
You feel alright when you hear that music ring |
| [00:44.640] |
You step inside but you don't see too many faces |
| [00:51.980] |
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down |
| [00:59.160] |
Too much competition too many other places |
| [01:05.330] |
But not too many horns can make that sound |
| [01:12.200] |
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town |
| [01:30.550] |
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords |
| [01:38.130] |
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing |
| [01:45.280] |
And an old guitar is all he can afford |
| [01:51.440] |
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing |
| [02:01.350] |
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene |
| [02:08.430] |
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright |
| [02:15.050] |
He can play Honky Tonk just like anything |
| [02:22.340] |
Saving it up for Friday night |
| [02:28.910] |
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing |
| [02:46.820] |
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner |
| [02:55.200] |
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies |
| [02:56.160] |
And their platform soles |
| [03:01.170] |
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band |
| [03:08.360] |
It ain't what they call rock and roll |
| [03:15.030] |
And the Sultans played Creole |
| [04:20.400] |
And the man he steps right up to the microphone |
| [04:27.370] |
And says at last just as the time bell rings |
| [04:33.030] |
Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home |
| [04:40.910] |
And he makes it fast with one more thing |
| [04:46.880] |
We are the Sultans |
| [04:51.060] |
We are the Sultans of Swing |
