[Intro] (Manouche guitar pump: Chug-chug-chug) (Mandolin tremolo flutter) Raindrop hits the vintage copper glass. Old forgotten relics dancing en masse. [Verse 1] (Limping Swing Cadence) Acoustic guitar pumps a four-four stride, Where the antique clocks and the mirrors hide. Old leather boots start to tap and sway, Kicking all the dust from the street away. Mandolin rattles like a mechanical bird, Sweetest little tune that you ever heard. [Pre-Chorus] (Lurching Pocket Accent) Skip on the two! (wait) . . . DROP on the four! Nobody is crying in the pawnshop door! [Chorus 1] (Bouncing Gypsy Hook) HOP down the LANE! (limp) SPIN in the RUE! Old wooden shoes making everything new! Acoustic swing with a crooked grin, Let the market-square celebration begin! (Allez! Hop with the left foot!) [Instrumental Break - Virtuosic Mandolin Solo & Pumping Rhythm Guitar] [Verse 2] Broken pocket watches begin to rewind, Leaving the worries of the day behind. Porcelain teacups clink in the stall, Shadows do the tango on the alley wall. A brass gramophone spits a golden spark, Chasing away the rainy morning dark. [Chorus 2] (Full Swing Jubilation) DANCE with the GHOSTS! (turn) LAUGH in the RAIN! Wash all the rust off the copper chain! Fast fingers flying on the nylon fret, Best afternoon that we’re gonna get! [Outro] Guitar chugs to a halt. The old boots stop dancing. Market sleeps again.
