Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean

All the orchestras are swinging it today
And I wanted to find out what the noise is all about
Do you really think that swing is here to stay
Now I’m glad you asked me
Now Mr. Mercer (Yeah) oh Mr. Mercer (I'm listening)
Swing is really much too ancient to condemn
(You don’t say)
In the jungles they would play in that same abandoned way
On the level Mr. Crosby
No, on the down beat Mr. M
Oh Mr. Crosby, (uh huh) now Mr. Crosby
(So happy to oblige)
I’ve been reading in the latest magazine (Yes)
That a jiving jitterbug blows his top and cuts a rug
Will you tell me what that language really means
Oh Mr. Mercer (Yeah, Yeah) Oh-ho-ho Mr. Mercer
(Tell me, tell me tell me)
As a student of the slang they use pro tem (Pro what?)
That just means a solid gait cuts a murderisitc plate
That’s amazing Mr. Crosby
That’s elementary Mr. M
Oh Mr. Crosby, dear Doctor Crosby
Is it true that swing’s another name for jazz
And the first place it was played
Was a New Orleans parade
And the southern Negro gave it all it had
Oh!
Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Mercer
I believe that it’s foundation came from them
(Are you positive?)
Yes they just slowed the tempo down
And then they really went to town
Allegretto Mr. Crosby?
Alligators Mr. M
Oh!
Mr. Mercer, (Yeah) Mr. Mercer (uh huh)
Well I trust that I have made the matter clear
(It's really too clear)
So if someone plays a thing
You’re gonna understand the swing
And appreciate the rhythm that you hear
Oh Mr. Crosby (Oh hear me talking to you)
No Mr. Crosby
I’m afraid that type of rhythm’s not for me
I prefer my music played A La Schubert Serenade
Sorta retardo Mr. Mercer
Sorta Lombardo Mr. C
