B. r. hornsby |
|
I heard you say that tonight's the night |
|
You say there's a party going on |
|
I'm in the door lik an old 78 side |
|
And i hear 'em out hitting on a coleman song |
|
My friend john with a mirror and spoon |
|
Got a belt and a mainline scene |
|
A couple getting off in the back room |
|
Someone's collecting money for the friend in need |
|
Sounds like a good time, a ball to me |
|
Sounds like a place i'd like to be |
|
Theres a little crowd you're gonna want to meet |
|
Oh they got a thing going on swing street |
|
Nice old man in the corner booth |
|
Making time with jive-time stu |
|
She makes her sting 'neath the table blue |
|
Says she's an actor but she's hooking |
|
As a sideline too |
|
Oh sounds like a good time, a ball to me |
|
Sounds like a place i'd like to be |
|
Everybody rolls when it's time to meet |
|
Oh they got a thing going on swing street |
|
Got a good thing going down swing street |
|
You say there's nothing but bums around here |
|
Listen to the sound of the cymbal so clear |
|
Cutting contest on the stand |
|
Somebody's trying to blow you away |
|
What makes him swing harder than you do |
|
Oh better hit the woodshed for ninety days |
|
Oh sounds like a good time, a ball to me |
|
Sounds like a place i'd like to be |
|
Theres a little crowd you're gonna want to meet |
|
Oh they got a thing going on swing street |
|
Got a good thing going down swing street |
|
Got a good thing going down swing street |
|
Got a thing going on on swing street |
|
Got a thing going on |
|
Got a thing going on on swing street |
