Swing Street

I heard you say that tonight's the night
 You say there's a party going on
 I'm in the door like 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
 They 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
