[Verse 1]
Yeah, get a shiver in the dark
It's rainin' in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowin' Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear the music ring
[Verse 2]
Well now you steppin' inside
But you don't see too many faces
Comin' in out of rain they hear the jazz go down
Competition too many other places
Yeah, but the horns they blowin' that sound, they blowin'
[Verse 3]
Way on downsouth
Way on downsouth
London town
[Verse 4]
Check it out, guitar George
Well he knows all them fancy chords
Mind his rhythm gonna make that guitar cry
And make it sing
[Verse 5]
They said an old guitar it is all he can afford
When he gets up under the candlelights
He's gonna play that
And Harry doesn't mind
If he doesn't make that fancy scene
Got a daytime job, he's doing quite all right
Thank you very much
[Verse 6]
Do the honky tonk just like anything
Savin' it up for Friday night
With the Sultans
Yeah, we're the Sultans of Swing
[Verse 7]
They send a crowd of boys
They just fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their baggies and their best king's robe
Don't give a damn about any trumpet-playin' man
It isn't what they callin' rock and roll
The Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans they play creole
[Verse 8]
And the man he just step right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
Then he go goodnight, now it's time to go home
And he make it fast with just one more thing
[Verse 9]
We are the Sultans
Yeah, we are the Sultans of Swing
