You get a shiver in the dark [00:00:12]
It's raining in the park but meantime [00:00:14]
South of the river you stop and you hold everything [00:00:19]
A band is blowing dixie double four time [00:00:26]
You feel alright when you hear that music ring [00:00:32]
You step inside but you don't see too many faces [00:00:41]
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down [00:00:48]
Too much competition too many other places [00:00:55]
Oh but the horns they go and make that sound [00:01:02]
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town [00:01:08]
You check out guitar george he knows all the chords [00:01:27]
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing [00:01:33]
And an old guitar is all he can afford [00:01:41]
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing [00:01:47]
And harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene [00:01:57]
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright [00:02:03]
He can play honky tonk just like anything [00:02:10]
Saving it up for Friday night [00:02:16]
With the sultans with the sultans of swing [00:02:23]
And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner [00:02:41]
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies [00:02:48]
And their platform soles [00:02:51]
They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band [00:02:55]
It ain't what they call rock and roll [00:03:02]
And the Sultans played creole creole [00:03:08]
And the man he steps right up to the microphone [00:04:13]
And says at last just as the time bell rings [00:04:20]
Goodnight now it's time to go home [00:04:26]
And he makes it fast with one more thing [00:04:32]
We are the sultans we are the sultans of swing [00:04:39]
