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
Yeah, you feel alright when you hear that music ring
Well, now you step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Competition too many other places
Yeah, but no horns, they blowing that sound (they're blowing it)
Way on down south way on down south London town
You check out Guitar George, yeah, he knows all the fancy chords
Mind strictly I'm gonna make that guitar cry or make it sing
Yes, and an old guitar is just all he can afford
When he gets up under that kinda lights, gonna play that hard thing
And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make that fancy scene
But daytime job he's doing quite alright, thank you very much
You do the honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for a Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
In the scene a crowd boys they're just fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed baggies and their best case role
Don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
'Cos It ain't what they're calling a rock and roll
The Sultans, oh yeah, the Sultans played Creole
Then the man he just steps right up to the microphone
He says at last just as the time bell rings
"Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home"
And he makes it fast with just a one more thing
"We are the Sultans, yeah, we are the Sultans of Swing"
