Dire Strates/Sultans of Swing
[00:13]You get a shiver in the dark
[00:15]It's raining in the park but meantime
[00:20]South of the river you stop and you hold everything
[00:27]A band is blowing Dixie double four time
[00:33]You feel alright when you hear that music ring
[00:42]You step inside but you don't see too many faces
[00:49]Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
[00:56]Too much competition too many other places
[01:03]But not too many horns can make that sound
[01:09]Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town
[01:28]You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
[01:34]Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
[01:41]And an old guitar is all he can afford
[01:48]When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
[01:57]And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
[02:04]He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
[02:11]He can play honky tonk just like anything
[02:17]Saving it up for Friday night
[02:24]With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing
[02:42]And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
[02:49]Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
[02:56]They don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
[03:03]It ain't what they call rock and roll
[03:09]And the Sultans played Creole
[04:14]And the man he steps right up to the microphone
[04:20]And says at last just as the time bell rings
[04:27]'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
[04:33]And he makes it fast with one more thing
[04:40]'We are the Sultans of Swing'
