Swing Street lyrics
B. R. Hornsby
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
Theres 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
Theres 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
