| [00:12.650] |
You get a shiver in the dark |
| [00:14.390] |
It's raining in the park but meantime |
| [00:19.690] |
South of the river you stop and you hold everything |
| [00:26.730] |
A band is blowing Dixie double four time |
| [00:32.630] |
You feel alright when you hear that music ring |
| [00:41.490] |
You step inside but you don't see too many faces |
| [00:48.950] |
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down |
| [00:56.010] |
Too much competition too many other places |
| [01:02.190] |
But not too many horns can make that sound |
| [01:08.650] |
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town |
| [01:26.470] |
You check out guitar George he knows all the chords |
| [01:33.650] |
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing |
| [01:40.820] |
And an old guitar is all he can afford |
| [01:46.940] |
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing |
| [01:56.620] |
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene |
| [02:02.820] |
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright |
| [02:09.750] |
He can play Honky Tonk just like anything |
| [02:16.130] |
Saving it up for Friday night |
| [02:22.900] |
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing |
| [02:40.990] |
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner |
| [02:48.180] |
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies |
| [02:49.890] |
And their platform soles |
| [02:54.860] |
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band |
| [03:01.280] |
It ain't what they call rock and roll |
| [03:08.150] |
And the Sultans |
| [03:12.230] |
Yeah the Sultans they played Creole |
| [03:18.760] |
Creole |
| [04:13.220] |
And the man he steps right up to the microphone |
| [04:19.950] |
And says at last just as the time bell rings |
| [04:27.030] |
Goodnight now it's time to go home |
| [04:32.930] |
And he makes it fast with one more thing |
| [04:39.730] |
We are the Sultans |
| [04:42.910] |
We are the Sultans of Swing |
