Swing and Jive ! Songtext
von SOUND HOLIC

Blue skies, blue skies, holiday breeze
(Doo-wop, shoo-bee-doo-wop)
And there′s music, oh, down, down by the street
(Doo-wop, doo-bee-doo-wah)
Whoa, there's no stopping me now, no, no, siree
(Bing, bang, doo-wah, doo-wee)
I′m ticki-tappin' my way down
To the club for a sec just to see

Something picks up, suddenly
Time's ticking by, oh, and now the big band
Starts up, making a scene

When the beat begins
I get up swingin′ and a-dancin′
All the hippest cats start up, getting around, yeah

Swinging's got me on my feet
I′m jumpin' and a-jivin′
My, oh, my, can't stop me, the rhythm and beat
Oh! Shoo-wap! Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo, doo-doo-um, bah


My mind, my heart′s filled up with song
(Bop, bop, doo-doo-um-bop)
There's no helpin' it when it comes along
(Dem-dep, dippity dep)
Imagination just tap, taps to the tune
(Un-doo, digga-de-dee)
No matter what, oh, them cats start
To get smooth to the beat of that swing

Don′t mean a thing if you think
Love follows no steady beat
Come on, set out, and let your soul free

When the beat begins
I get up swingin′ and a-dancin'
All the hippest cats start up, getting around, yeah

Swinging′s got me on my feet
I'm jumpin′ and a-jivin'
My, oh, my, can′t stop me, the rhythm and beat
Oh! Shoo-wap! Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo, doo-doo-um, bah

Don't mean a thing if you think
Love follows no steady beat
Come on, set out, and let your soul free

When the beat begins
I get up swingin' and a-dancin′
All the hippest cats start up, getting around, yeah


Swinging′s got me on my feet
I'm jumpin′ and a-jivin'
My, oh, my, can′t stop me, the rhythm and beat
Oh! Shoo-wap! Shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo, doo-doo-um, bah
