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

You step inside, but you don`t see too many faces Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down Too much competition, from other places But not too many horns can make that sound

Way on downsouth, way on downsouth 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 And an old guitar is all he can afford When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

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 honkytonk just like anything Saving it up for friday night

With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing

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 aint what they call Rock and Roll

And the Sultans played Creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone And says at last just as the time bell rings `Thankyou, 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
