Sing Me A Swing Song (And Let Me Danc) - Chick Webb & His Orchestra

Give me a song that’s robust

Feeling the way I am

Any old band’ll go bust

If it ain’t got that jam

When a body needs a body

On the ballroom floor

Then a body asks a body

«What's a swing band for?»

Oh baby, I don’t want you

To croon soft and mellow

Let me warn you in advance,

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Oh baby, I don’t want

Any moon, bright and yellow

You can have your sweet romance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Mr. Trombone, play some corn

I ain’t carin' what notes

Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn

Brother, give me hot notes

Oh baby, I don’t want

Any tune, on a cello

Give the rhythm men a chance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

instrumental interlude

Let me warn you in advance,

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

You can have your sweet romance, just

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Mr. Trombone, play some corn

I ain’t carin' what notes

Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn

Brother, give me hot notes

Oh baby, I don’t want

Any tune, on a cello

Give the rhythm men a chance

Sing me a swing song and let me dance

Ol' Chick Webb is beatin' it out

Makes me feel like I want to shout

All the boys are ready to prance, so

Sing me a swing song and let me dance
