Aw - shake that pretty little bundle
Til you`re poppin` your top
Cause I`m jus` gittin` in the groove
Baby, please don`t stop
Ooh - turn me loose, lemme go, gimme room,
lemme flow like water downstream
I`m livin` my dream. swingin` like a rusty gate - oops!
That`s it, it`s the Moten`s swing

Violin solo/Janis` Solo:
If you ever git it, don`t `cha run wit it,
Benny done did it way back
Yes, sir, Mr. Moten
It`s his thing
That`s swingin` - He`s a swingin` it

Nobody can define it
It`s a thing you can`t describe in words
It`s swingin`, it`s swingin`
Swing, they call it
Benny Moten does it

Mos` people groove behin` it
Crowdin` every ballroom floor in herds
Jes` swingin`, an` swingin`s
What they call it
Benny Moten was it

Satchmo from Oliver defined it - Singin`
Basie with Moten, he refined it - swingin`

Now everyone`s hip
Everyone`s hip to the tip
People say it drives you crazy
Everyone digs that thing
Everyone likes a fling
Everyone likes to swing
