Put a smile on, lace it tight Tonight behaves the way I like Every step is making noise Every move a dangerous choice If the room begins to sway That’s just rhythm finding its way When the trumpets start to talk I don’t even try to walk Every truth begins to spin Once the brass is breaking in Say what you want, say it loud But the beat knows what I’m about I don’t dance to look polite I dance to feel the room ignite Snap your fingers, lose control Let the swing get in your bones If your feet forget the floor That’s what rhythm’s for When the trumpets start to talk I don’t even try to walk Every truth begins to spin Once the brass is breaking in Say what you want, say it loud But the beat knows what I’m about When the trumpets start to shout All my doubts go dancing out I don’t think, I just react Once the brass attacks my back I tried quiet, didn’t fit I tried calm, I couldn’t sit This old beat knows how I move Like it’s got something to prove If your head says “maybe no” Your hips already said “let’s go” When the trumpets start to talk I don’t even try to walk Every truth begins to spin Once the brass is breaking in Say what you want, say it loud But the beat knows what I’m about When the trumpets don’t behave Every body wants to rave If it swings, then let it fly Trumpets don’t lie When the trumpets don’t behave Dance it foolish, dance it brave No excuse, no alibi Trumpets don’t lie Hey! Hey! Let it swing!
