| [00:13.18] |
You get a shiver in the dark |
| [00:14.97] |
It's raining in the park but meantime |
| [00:17.97] |
|
| [00:20.52] |
South of the river you stop and you hold everything |
| [00:23.74] |
|
| [00:27.18] |
A band is blowing dixie double four time |
| [00:30.65] |
|
| [00:33.36] |
You feel alright when you hear that music ring |
| [00:36.59] |
|
| [00:42.36] |
Now you step inside but you don't see too many faces |
| [00:46.71] |
|
| [00:49.55] |
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down |
| [00:53.10] |
|
| [00:56.72] |
Competition in other places |
| [00:59.72] |
|
| [01:03.05] |
But the horns can blowing that sound |
| [01:05.96] |
|
| [01:09.65] |
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town |
| [01:16.23] |
|
| [01:27.30] |
You check out guitar george he knows all the chords |
| [01:32.59] |
|
| [01:34.60] |
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing |
| [01:38.56] |
|
| [01:41.52] |
And an old guitar is all he can afford |
| [01:46.24] |
|
| [01:47.98] |
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing |
| [01:50.85] |
|
| [01:57.40] |
And harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene |
| [02:02.32] |
|
| [02:03.87] |
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright |
| [02:07.24] |
|
| [02:10.87] |
He can play honky tonk just like anything |
| [02:14.15] |
|
| [02:17.29] |
Saving it up for Friday night |
| [02:19.91] |
|
| [02:23.86] |
With the sultans with the sultans of swing |
| [02:30.30] |
|
| [02:42.28] |
And a crowd of young boys |
| [02:43.75] |
They're fooling around in the corner |
| [02:46.45] |
|
| [02:49.48] |
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies |
| [02:51.44] |
And their platform soles |
| [02:53.02] |
|
| [02:55.93] |
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band |
| [03:00.86] |
|
| [03:02.58] |
It ain't what they call rock and roll |
| [03:05.62] |
|
| [03:13.04] |
And the sultans played creole |
| [03:15.66] |
|
| [04:13.56] |
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone |
| [04:17.48] |
|
| [04:20.37] |
And says at last just as the time bell rings |
| [04:23.84] |
|
| [04:27.61] |
Goodnight now it's time to go home |
| [04:31.78] |
|
| [04:33.39] |
And he makes it fast with one more thing |
| [04:36.81] |
|
| [04:40.47] |
We are the sultans |
| [04:41.94] |
|
| [04:43.65] |
We are the sultans of swing |
| [04:46.53] |
|
