You get a shiver in

the dark It s a raining
in the park but meantime
South of the river

you stop and you
hold everything
A band is blowing

Dixie double
four time
You feel alright

when you hear
the music ring
Well now you step

inside but you don't
see too many faces
Coming in out of
the rain to hear

the jazz go down
Competition in

other places
About the horns

they're blowing
that sound
Way on down South

way on down South
London town
You check out Guitar

George he knows
all the chords
Mind he's strictly
rhythm he doesn't

want to make it
cry or sing
Yes and an old

guitar is all he
can afford
And Harry doesn't

mind if he doesn't
make the scene
He can play the

honkytonk
like anything
Saving it up

for Friday night
With the Sultans

with the Sultans
of swing
Hey
Then a crowd of
young boys they're

fooling around
in a corner
Drunk and dressed
in their best brown

baggies and their
platform soles
They don't give a

damn about any
trumpet playing band
Then the Sultans

yeah the Sultans
played Creole
Instrumental I

Msemnds ,
Then the man he

steps right up to
the microphone
And says at last

just as the time
bell ring
'Goodnight now

it's time to go home'
And he makes it

fast with one
more thing
We are the Sultans

We are the Sultans
of swing
Alright.
