[Intro] (Finger snaps + upright bass + light drums) Ba-da-bap… ba-da-bap… (Trio harmony, soft) Come on, honey… take my hand… [Verse 1 - Trio Harmony] When the night begins to play And the band won’t fade away Tap your shoes along the line Keep that rhythm nice and fine Got a little trick to show Step it fast then take it slow Turn around and smile so sweet Let that groove guide your feet [Pre-Chorus - Call & Response] (Lead) Do you feel that swing? (Trio) Oh we do! (Lead) Does it make you sing? (Trio) Like you knew! (Lead) Take a step, nice and neat (Trio) Keep it light on your feet! [Chorus - Trio Tight Harmony] Swing it, honey, don’t be shy Clap your hands and swing on by Rock it gently, side to side Let that rhythm be your guide Swing it, honey, nice and slow Then a little faster, here we go Round and round the feeling grows That’s the way the good time flows [Dance Break] (Upright bass + brushed drums + claps) One, two, three… now glide Step and turn, side to side Clap it once, clap it twice Keep it smooth, keep it nice [Verse 2 - Trio] Hear that rhythm in the air Everybody’s got a share Little laugh and little spin That’s the way the fun begins No need for a grand parade Just a tune that’s nicely played Take a partner, hold on tight Dance until the morning light [Pre-Chorus] (Lead) Feel it in your toes? (Trio) Head to toe! (Lead) Does it start to glow? (Trio) Don’t you know! (Lead) Take it up, take it down (Trio) Best little swing in town! [Chorus - Big Harmony] Swing it, honey, don’t be shy Clap your hands and swing on by Rock it gently, side to side Let that rhythm be your guide Swing it, honey, nice and slow Then a little faster, here we go Round and round the feeling grows That’s the way the good time flows [Bridge - Soft Harmony] Ba-da-bap, don’t you wait Music makes the moment great Hold it close, don’t let go That’s the way the sweethearts know [Final Chorus] Swing it, honey, don’t be shy Clap your hands and swing on by Rock it gently, side to side Let that rhythm be your guide Swing it, honey, here we go Spin it quick then take it slow Clap your hands and steal the show That’s the way the good times flow [Outro] (Finger snaps + fading bass) Ba-da-bap… ba-da-bap… Stay a while… don’t you go…
