Swing Street

I heard you say that tonight's the night You say there's a party going on I'm in the door lik an old 78 side And I hear 'em out hitting on a Coleman song My friend John with a mirror and spoon Got a belt and a mainline scene A couple getting off in the back room Someone's collecting money for the friend in need Sounds like a good time, a ball to me Sounds like a place I'd like to be there's a little crowd you're gonna want to meet Oh they got a thing going on swing street Nice old man in the corner booth Making time with Jive-time Stu She makes her sting 'neath the table blue Says she's an actor but she's hooking as a sideline too Oh sounds like a good time, a ball to me Sounds like a place I'd like to be Everybody rolls when it's time to meet Oh they got a thing going on swing street Got a good thing going down swing street You say there's nothing but bums around here Listen to the sound of the cymbal so clear Cutting contest on the stand Somebody's trying to blow you away What makes him swing harder than you do Oh better hit the woodshed for ninety days Oh sounds like a good time, a ball to me Sounds like a place I'd like to be there's a little crowd you're gonna want to meet Oh they got a thing going on swing street Got a good thing going down swing street Got a good thing going down swing street Got a thing going on on swing street Got a thing going on Got a thing going on on swing street --- Swing Street - Bruce Hornsby
