Now They Call It Swing - Billie Holiday (比莉·哈乐黛)[00:00:00]
Once they called it ragtime[00:00:07]
And it had its fling[00:00:10]
It's the same old syncopation[00:00:12]
Now they call it swing[00:00:16]
Then they played it jazz time[00:00:19]
To a buck-and-wing[00:00:22]
Once again it sweeped the nation[00:00:25]
Now they call it swing[00:00:28]
When singers used to sing[00:00:31]
They would go hot cha[00:00:34]
But with this modern thing[00:00:37]
Now they go dru-du du dra-da-da[00:00:40]
Rhythm has its seasons[00:00:43]
Summer fall and spring[00:00:46]
But for seven silly reasons[00:00:49]
Someone pulled the string[00:00:52]
And they started dancing[00:00:55]
Now they call it swing[00:00:58]
Once they called it ragtime[00:01:56]
And it had its fling[00:01:59]
It's the same old syncopation[00:02:02]
Now they call it swing[00:02:05]
Then they played it jazz time[00:02:08]
To a buck-and-wing[00:02:11]
Once again it sweeped the nation[00:02:14]
Now they call it swing[00:02:17]
When singers used to sing[00:02:20]
They would go hot cha[00:02:23]
But with this modern thing[00:02:26]
Now they go dru-du du dra-da-da[00:02:29]
Rhythm has its seasons[00:02:33]
Summer fall and spring[00:02:35]
But for seven silly reasons[00:02:38]
Someone pulled the string[00:02:42]
And they started dancing[00:02:45]
Now they call it swing[00:02:48]
Baby nothing call it swing[00:02:54]
