Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey Mary, show me that riff
Okay
[Verse 2]
You get a shiver in the dark
It's rainin' in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowin' Dixie, double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
[Verse 3]
Well, now, you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Comin' in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Oh, but the horns, they're blowin' that sound
Way on down south, way on down south London Town
[Verse 4]
You check out Guitar George, he knows all the chords
Mind it's strictly rhythm, he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
Left-handed old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
[Verse 5]
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
He can play the honky tonk like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans
With the Sultans of Swing, yeah
[Verse 6]
Sultans of Swing, Sultans of Swing
(We're the Sultans of Swing, we're the Sultans of Swing)
Sultans of Swing, Sultans of Swing
(We're the Sultans of Swing, we're the Sultans of Swing)
[Verse 7]
And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last, just as the time bell rings
"Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
Then he makes it fast with one more thing
We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Swing
[Verse 8]
Sultans of Swing
Sultans of Swing
