You get a shiver in the dark, it's raining in the park
But meantime, south of the river you stop and hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie, double for a time
You feel alright when you hear the music ring
Competition in other places
But the horns, they blow in that sound
We are the Sultans of Swing
We are, we are
We are the Sultans of Swing
We are, we are
We are the Sultans of Swing
You soon are known all over the world

No one can talk, it's all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing
He can play the honky, don't like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
You're the sultans
We are, we are
We are the sultans of swing
We are, we are
We are the sultans of swing
We are, we are
We are the sultans of swing
We are
We are, we are the salt sands of swinging
