When the Big Band Swings

[Verse 1]
I don't rock around the clock
I don't wear blue suede shoes
I don't care for rock and all
When I've got the blues
The only sound that really moves me
Makes me feel I got wings

[Chorus]
Is when I'm up on my feet
And I surrender to the beat
When the big band swings

[Verse 2]
I don't dig that folksy stuff
With its fancy rhymes
They can stay where they belong
Back in ancient times
And you can listen to Pacini
'Til the fat lady sings

[Chorus]
But I get up on my feet
And surrender to the beat
When the big band swings

[Verse 3]
When thе big band swings
Let those cool rhythms do the talkin'
It just turns up thе heat
String basses do the walkin'
And I'm dancing in the street

[Verse 4]
I don't care to hip or hop
When I hit the floor
When they turn those speakers up
I can't take no more
But when I hear the trumpets blowing
Something marvellous begins

[Chorus]
And then I'm up on my feet
And I surrender to the beat
When the big band swings
When the big band swings
When the big band swings
