**[Intro – Band kicks off with a swampy swing groove]** Come on everybody, let’s get swingin’! **[Verse 1 – (smooth & bright)]** Stepped off the boat by the old cypress tree, Fireflies dancing, as far as I can see. Spanish moss hanging like a natural gown, Bayou is calling, let’s paint up the town! Red shoes ready and my favorite dress on, Gonna catch that rhythm from dusk until dawn! **[Pre-Chorus – (bouncy & playful)]** Hey there, my partner, lace up those dancing shoes, I’ve got the beat bubbling like the swampy bayou! Call me the Firefly Guide under the moon so bright, We’ll fill up the night with music and light! **[Chorus – Both, big joyful harmonies]** We’re swingin’, swingin’, twirl me ‘round the floor! Flapper friends forever, gimme more, more, more! Clap your hands, everybody, kick those heels up high, Dancing by the water underneath the starry sky! Oh swingin’! (Swing!) Oh happy sing! (Sing!) In this swampy nighttime, we’re flying everything! **[Verse 2 – (fun & energetic)]** I bring the melody, you bring the smile so wide, Bullfrogs croaking right along with the ride. Gators snoozing lazy in the warm summer glow, We’re spinning and stepping, stealing the show! You’ve got that sparkle like the morning dew, Together we shine and the whole bayou’s new! **[Pre-Chorus – (cheerful & confident)]** You keep the rhythm rolling with your shiny brass horn, We’ll dance till we’re dizzy from evening till morn! Spinning through the willows, feeling so free, This flapper’s got the spirit—come join the jamboree! **[Chorus – Both, even bigger & brighter]** We’re swingin’, swingin’, twirl me ‘round the floor! Flapper friends forever, gimme more, more, more! Clap your hands, everybody, kick those heels up high, Dancing by the water underneath the starry sky! Oh swingin’! Oh happy sing! In this swampy nighttime, we’re flying everything! **[Bridge – Warm build, then fun explosion]** Lanterns glowing softly, music fills the air… Friends side by side without a single care! Every step is magic, every beat is true… Let the good times roll for me and you! **[Instrumental Break – Full swampy swing party: trumpet and trombone trading solos, washboard fun, big claps and stomps]** **[Final Chorus – Both, huge celebratory lift]** We’re swingin’, swingin’— Flapper friends forever— Twirl me, spin me, let the music play! Feathers flying high, we’re laughing all the way! Oh swingin’! (Swing harder!) Oh happy sing! (Sing louder!) Till the morning sunshine we’ll keep on dancing, Best pals together in the bayou romance! **[Outro – Both, fading with big band joy and laughter]** One more spin, my friend… Let’s keep the music going! Swingin’!
