| Give me a song that’s robust
|
| Feeling the way I am
|
| Any old band’ll go bust
|
| If it ain’t got that jam
|
| When a body needs a body
|
| On the ballroom floor
|
| Then a body asks a body
|
| «What's a swing band for?»
|
| Oh baby, I don’t want you
|
| To croon soft and mellow
|
| Let me warn you in advance,
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance
|
| Oh baby, I don’t want
|
| Any moon, bright and yellow
|
| You can have your sweet romance
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance
|
| Mr. Trombone, play some corn
|
| I ain’t carin' what notes
|
| Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn
|
| Brother, give me hot notes
|
| Oh baby, I don’t want
|
| Any tune, on a cello
|
| Give the rhythm men a chance
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance
|
| instrumental interlude
|
| Let me warn you in advance,
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance
|
| You can have your sweet romance, just
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance
|
| Mr. Trombone, play some corn
|
| I ain’t carin' what notes
|
| Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn
|
| Brother, give me hot notes
|
| Oh baby, I don’t want
|
| Any tune, on a cello
|
| Give the rhythm men a chance
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance
|
| Ol' Chick Webb is beatin' it out
|
| Makes me feel like I want to shout
|
| All the boys are ready to prance, so
|
| Sing me a swing song and let me dance |
