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]
But not too many horns can 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[00:01:40]
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[00:01:56]
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 and their platform soles[00:02:48]
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[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[00:04:19]
'Thank you 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 of Swing' [00:04:39]
