Rem Do Rem Do
Rem Do Sib La you get a shiver in the dark it's raining in the park but meantime Rem Do Sib La south of the river you stop and you hold everything Fa Do a band is blowing Dixie double four time Sib Rem Sib-Do you feel alright when you hear that music ring
Rem Do Sib La you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Rem Do Sib La coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Fa Do too much competition too many other places Sib Rem but not too many horns can make that sound Sib-Do way on downsouth Sib-Do way on downsouth Rem Rem-Do-Sib-Do Rem-Do-Sib-Do London town Rem Do Sib La you check out Guitar George he knows all the chords Rem Do Sib La mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing Fa Do and an old guitar is all he can afford Sib Rem Sib-Do when he gets up under the lights to play his thing Rem Do Sib La And harry doesnb't mind if he doesn't make the scene Rem Do Sib La he's got a daytime job he's doing allright Fa Do he can play honky tone just like anything Sib Rem Sib-Do saving it up for friday night Sib-Do with the sultans Rem Rem-Do-Sib-Do Rem-Do-Sib-Do with the sultans of swing Rem Do Sib La and a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner Rem Do Sib La drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles Fa Do they don't give a damn about ('bout) any trumpet playing band Sib Rem Sib-Do it ain't what they call rock and roll Sib-Do and the sultans Rem Rem-Do-Sib-Do Rem-Do-Sib-Do and the sultans played creole Rem Do Sib La and then the man he steps right up to the microphone Rem Do Sib La and says at last just as the time bell rings Fa Do thank you goodnight now it's time to go home Sib Rem Sib-Do and he makes it fast with one more thing Sib-Do we are the sultans Rem Rem-Do-Sib-Do Rem-Do-Sib-Do we are the sultans of swing |
