[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!
[02:01.16]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.
