VERSE

You get a shiver in the dark, it's 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 that music ring

VERSE

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.

Ah,

but the horns, they blowing that sound.

CHORUS

Way on down south.

Way on down south

London town.

| C | Dm | A# |

VERSE

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.

When he gets up under the lights, to play his thing.

| C | Dm |

VERSE

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

| A# |

CHORUS

with the sultans,

with the sultans of swing.

VERSE

And a crowd of young boys, they're fooling around in the corner.

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles.

They don't give a damn about any trumpet-playing band.

It ain't what they call rock and roll.

CHORUS

And the sultans,

Yeah, the sultans they played

VERSE

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.

CHORUS

We are the sultans

We are the sultans of swing
