Sultans Of Swing lyrics

• Copyright: Knopfler, mark

  ---

  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

  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
  Oh, but the horns, they're blowing that sound
  Way on down south, way on down south London town

  You check out guitar, George
  He knows all the chords
  Mind it's strictly rhythm
  He doesn't wanna make it cry or sing
  Left-handed old guitar is all he can afford
  When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

  And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
  He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright
  He can play the honky tonk like anything
  Saving it up for Friday night
  With the Sultans, with the Sultans of Swing

  And a crowd of young boys, they're fooling around in the corner
  Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
  They don't give a damn about any trumpet-playing band
  It ain't what they call "Rock 'n' Roll"
  And the Sultans, yeah, the Sultans, they play Creole, Creole

  And then the man, he steps right up to the microphone
  And says at last just as the time bell rings
  "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."
