| [00:12.92] |
Arab sheikhs on the burning sands, |
| [00:14.83] |
their harems and clap their hands, |
| [00:17.27] |
Said, "Come on, girls, are you ready to play? |
| [00:19.36] |
Let's have a little more of that swingin' today." |
| [00:22.21] |
Now, in the land of Fu Manchu, |
| [00:23.64] |
The girls all now do the Suzie-Q, |
| [00:25.19] |
|
| [00:25.96] |
Clap their hands in the center of the floor, |
| [00:27.99] |
Saying, "Ching, ching, chop-suey, |
| [00:29.00] |
swing some more!" |
| [00:30.83] |
|
| [00:46.97] |
Now, geisha girls in old Japan, |
| [00:49.06] |
Wink behind their peacock fans, |
| [00:51.26] |
Since they learned to say, "Yeah! |
| [00:53.19] |
Let's swing it |
| [00:54.03] |
like Amelican's swing swing dance!" |
| [00:56.12] |
|
| [01:19.18] |
Now, Gypsy caravans |
| [01:21.97] |
have changed their mode, |
| [01:22.97] |
They truck down the Romany road, |
| [01:25.11] |
With their hi-de-hos, |
| [01:26.14] |
and their hey-hey-diddle, |
| [01:27.26] |
Doin' the swing on the Gypsy fiddle. |
| [01:29.46] |
|
| [01:46.11] |
Them eastern wisemen know the story, |
| [01:48.57] |
Of the swing with Oriental glory, |
| [01:50.70] |
They stroke their beards and grin, |
| [01:53.00] |
Sayin', "Swing, little children, |
| [01:53.88] |
till the dawn comes in!" |
| [01:55.00] |
Now, geisha girls in old Japan, |
| [01:56.91] |
Wink behind their peacock fans, |
| [01:58.86] |
Since they learned to say, "Yeah! |

Let's swing it |
| [02:02.04] |
like Amelican's swing swing dance!" |
| [02:04.03] |
|
| [02:29.51] |
Gypsy caravans have changed their mode, |
| [02:31.11] |
They truck down the Romany road, |
| [02:33.17] |
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle, |
| [02:35.42] |
Doin' the swing on the Gypsy fiddle. |
