| [00:12.56] |
You get a shiver in the dark |
| [00:14.36] |
It's been raining in the park but meantime |
| [00:17.63] |
|
| [00:20.07] |
South of the river you stop and you hold everything |
| [00:23.31] |
|
| [00:26.66] |
A band is blowing Dixie double four time |
| [00:30.46] |
|
| [00:32.98] |
You feel all right when you hear that music ring |
| [00:36.45] |
|
| [00:41.94] |
You step inside but you don't see too many faces |
| [00:46.55] |
|
| [00:49.19] |
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down |
| [00:53.19] |
|
| [00:56.18] |
Too much competition too many other places |
| [00:59.37] |
|
| [01:02.13] |
But not too many horns can make that sound |
| [01:05.72] |
|
| [01:09.17] |
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town |
| [01:15.96] |
|
| [01:27.25] |
You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords |
| [01:32.30] |
|
| [01:34.19] |
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing |
| [01:38.44] |
|
| [01:41.42] |
And an old guitar is all he can afford |
| [01:46.16] |
|
| [01:47.51] |
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing |
| [01:50.81] |
|
| [01:57.53] |
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene |
| [02:02.15] |
|
| [02:03.46] |
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright |
| [02:08.01] |
|
| [02:10.43] |
He can play honky tonk just like anything |
| [02:14.17] |
|
| [02:17.09] |
Saving it up for Friday night |
| [02:20.69] |
|
| [02:23.77] |
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing |
| [02:30.01] |
|
| [02:41.84] |
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner |
| [02:47.84] |
|
| [02:49.07] |
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles |
| [02:53.11] |
|
| [02:56.04] |
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band |
| [03:00.78] |
|
| [03:02.49] |
It ain't what they call rock and roll |
| [03:05.73] |
|
| [03:09.43] |
And the Sultans played Creole |
| [03:16.16] |
|
| [04:13.61] |
And then the man he steps right up to the microphone |
| [04:17.84] |
|
| [04:20.29] |
And says at last just as the time bell rings |
| [04:23.58] |
|
| [04:27.07] |
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home' |
| [04:31.54] |
|
| [04:33.22] |
and he makes it fast with one more thing |
| [04:36.58] |
|
| [04:40.21] |
'We are the Sultans of Swing' |
| [04:47.50] |
|
