[00:14.18]You get a shiver in the dark
[00:16.20]It's raining in the park but meantime
[00:21.30]South of the river you stop and you hold everything
[00:28.48]A band is blowing Dixie double four time
[00:35.05]You feel alright when you hear that music ring
[00:43.64]You step inside but you don't see too many faces
[00:51.17]Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
[00:57.50]Too much competition too many other places
[01:05.03]But not too many horns can make that sound
[01:11.30]Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
[01:29.35]You check out guitar George he knows all the chords
[01:37.02]Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
[01:43.90]And an old guitar is all he can afford
[01:49.92]When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
[01:58.81]And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
[02:06.36]He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
[02:13.23]He can play Honky Tonk just like anything
[02:19.30]Saving it up for Friday night
[02:26.27]With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
[02:44.11]And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
[02:51.74]Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies
[02:53.41]And their platform soles
[02:58.16]They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
[03:05.03]It ain't what they call rock and roll
[03:11.87]And the Sultans played Creole
[04:15.71]And the man he steps right up to the microphone
[04:22.68]And says at last just as the time bell rings
[04:29.16]Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home
[04:36.07]And he makes it fast with one more thing
[04:42.04]We are the Sultans of Swing
[04:46.56]We are the Sultans of Swing
