billie holiday - now they call it swing [take 1] lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
once they called it ragtime
and it had its fling
it’s the same old syncopation
now they call it swing

[verse 2]
then they played it jazz time
to a buck+and+wing
once again it sweeps the nation
now they call it swing

[bridge]
when singers used to sing
they would go, “hot+cha!”
but with this modern thing
now they go, “dri+di+dit+ti dra+da+dat”

[verse 3]
rhythm has its seasons
summer, fall and spring
but for seven silly reasons
someone pulled a string
and they started dancing
now they call it swing
[instrumental break]

[verse 1]
once they called it ragtime
and it had its fling
it’s the same old syncopation
now they call it swing

[verse 2]
then they played it jazz time
to a buck+and+wing
once again it sweeps the nation
now they call it swing

[bridge]
when singers used to sing
they would go, “hot+cha!”
but with this modern thing
now they go, “dri+di+dit+ti dra+da+dat”

[verse 3]
rhythm has its seasons
summer, fall and spring
but for seven silly reasons
someone pulled a string
and they started dancing
now they call it swing
[outro]
baby, now they call it swing
