AYou gCet a shivAmer in the dark, it's Fraining Ein the park, but meantime
 SoutAmh of the river,C you stop andE you hold everythingC
CA band is blowing Dixie,G double-four time
GYouF feel alright wheAmn you heFar that mGusic ring
 WCell, nAmow you stAep insidCe, but you dEon't see too many faces
 CoAmming in Aout of the rain Eto hear the jazz goC down
CCompetition iGn other placFes
FAh, but the horns,Am they blowing Fthat soundG
GWay on doFwn south
GWay onA dFown sGouth,A LoFndonC tGown
GYou chCeck out Guitar George, Ehe knows all the chords
EMiAmnd, he's strictAly rhythm,F he doeEsn't want to make it cry or sCing
CYes and an old guitar Gis all he can affoFrd
FWhen he gets up under the lights Gto plaCy his Gthing
 AnAmd Harry doesn't miCmnd if hC#me doesn't Emake the scene
EHe's gotC a daytime jFob, hEe's doing alrighCt
CHe can play the honky-Gtonk like anythinFg
FSaving it up forAm FridFay nighGt
GWith the SFultanGs
GWithA thFe SuGltansA oFf SwGing
GAnd a crowd Amof young Cboys, they'reE fooling around in the cornAmer
AmDrunk and dressed iCn their beFst brown baggies and tEheir platform soles
EThCey don't give a dCmamn about aGny trumpet-playing band
GIFt ain't what they call rock and roll
 AGnd the FSultansG
GYeah, the SultanAs, they Fplayed creCole
FCFrCeFoGlFeG
GAnd tAmhen thFe man, he steps riGght up to the microphone
 AnAmd saysF at last, just Gas the time bell rings
 "Goodnight, now it's time to go home"
 Then he makes it fast with one more thing
 "We are the Sultans
 We are the Sultans of Swing"
