Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deep rhythm captivates me
Hot rhythms stimulates me
Can't help but swing it boy
Swing it brother, swing
[Verse 2]
Don't stop to diddle daddle
Stop this foolish prattle
Come on swing me boys
Swing it brothers, swing
[Verse 3]
Raring to go
And there ain't nobody gonna hold me down
Say listen, boy
Hurry up and send me let me go to town
[Verse 4]
Stop this diddle daddle
And this foolish prattle
Come on kill me boys
Swing it brother, swing
[Verse 5]
Deep rhythm captivates me
Hot rhythms stimulates me
Can't help but swing it, boy
Swing it brother, swing
[Verse 6]
Don't stop to diddle daddle
Stop this foolish prattle
Come on kill me boys
Swing it brother, swing
[Verse 7]
Raring to go
And there ain't nobody gonna hold me down
Say listen, boy
[Verse 8]
Hurry up and send me let me go to town
Stop this diddle daddle
And this foolish prattle
Come on knock me out
Swing it brother, swing
[Verse 9]
Swing
Brother
