Verse 1
You get a shiver in the dark,
it's raining in the park but
meantime
South of the river you stop and
you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double
four time
You feel alright when you hear
that music ring
Verse 2
Well now, you step inside but
you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to
hear the jazz go down
Competition in other places
Uh, but the horns they blowin'
that sound
way on down south
way on down south
London Town

Verse 3
You check out Guitar George,
he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he
doesn't want to make it cry or
sing
They say an old guitar is all he
can afford
When he gets up under the lights
to play his thing
Verse 4
And Harry doesn't mind if he
doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job, he's
doin' alright
He can play the honky tonk like
anything
Saving it up for Friday night
with the Sultans
with the Sultans of Swing

Verse 5
Then a crowd of young boys,
they're foolin' around in the
corner
Drunk and dressed in their best
brown baggies and their platform
soles
They don't give a damn about
about any trumpet playin' band
It ain't what they call rock and
roll
and the Sultans
Yeah, the Sultans, they play
Creole
Instrumental

Verse 6
And then the man he steps right
up to the microphone
And says at last just as the
time bell ring
Goodnight, now it's time to go
home
Then he makes it fast with one
more thing
We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Swing
