[00:12.56]You get a shiver in the dark
[00:14.37]It's been raining in the park but meantime
[00:17.63]
[00:20.07]South of the river you stop and you hold everything
[00:23.32]
[00:26.66]A band is blowing Dixie double four time
[00:30.46]
[00:32.99]You feel all right when you hear that music ring
[00:36.45]
[00:41.94]You step inside but you don't see too many faces
[00:46.56]
[00:49.20]Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
[00:53.20]
[00:56.18]Too much competition too many other places
[00:59.38]
[01:02.14]But not too many horns can make that sound
[01:05.72]
[01:09.17]Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
[01:15.96]
[01:27.26]You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
[01:32.30]
[01:34.19]Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
[01:38.44]
[01:41.43]And an old guitar is all he can afford
[01:46.16]
[01:47.51]When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
[01:50.81]
[01:57.53]And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
[02:02.15]
[02:03.46]He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
[02:08.01]
[02:10.43]He can play honky tonk just like anything
[02:14.17]
[02:17.10]Saving it up for Friday night
[02:20.70]
[02:23.78]With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
[02:30.01]
[02:41.84]And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
[02:47.85]
[02:49.07]Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
[02:53.11]
[02:56.04]They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
[03:00.78]
[03:02.49]It ain't what they call rock and roll
[03:05.73]
[03:09.43]And the Sultans played Creole
[03:16.16]
[04:13.62]And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
[04:17.84]
[04:20.29]And says at last just as the time bell rings
[04:23.58]
[04:27.07]'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
[04:31.54]
[04:33.22]and he makes it fast with one more thing
[04:36.58]
[04:40.21]'We are the Sultans of Swing'
