[Intro] (Ladies and gentlemen…) From the future… and the past! Hit it! [Verse 1] Shined my shoes and slicked my hair Stepped in rhythm, debonair Trumpets laughing in the air Snare brush whisper — take me there Saxophones in satin lines Swinging sweet in 4/4 time But underneath that polished floor Something’s knocking at the door [Pre-Chorus] Trombone sliding nice and slow Clarinet begins to glow Hear that rumble down below? That’s no upright bass you know… Hold the tempo, keep it tight Let it shimmer, keep it bright Right before the downbeat lands — Feel that future in the band [Chorus] Big band bounce with a wobble in the back Trumpets high while the sub goes *whap* Swing so clean but the low end rude Polka dots with an attitude Big band bounce — let the speakers bend 1949 meets 2010 Brass so bright, bass so deep Make the ballroom lose its feet [Drop] Trombones growl like a traffic jam Sub rolls low, hats tick-tock Vinyl cracks but the bass goes shock Future swing, retro blast Feathered hats with a dubstep past Dance so smooth, then stomp that floor Grandma never heard this before [Verse 2] Pocket square and tilted grin Let the upright bass walk in Sax section all in line But the kick drum splits the spine Clap your hands in 2 and 4 Then feel that tremor shake the floor We keep it classy, keep it cool Till the sub rewrites the rule [Bridge] Stay in the swing Stay in the shine Old-school rhythm Bent through time Stay in the swing Stay in the shine Old-school rhythm Bent through time Velvet curtains, spotlights low Past and future in one show Smile wide — then let it drop Watch the chandelier hip-hop [Final Chorus] Big band bounce with a wobble in the back Trumpets soar while the bass attacks Golden horns and midnight dub Champagne fizz with a nightclub thud Big band bounce — let the decades blend From the gramophone to the low-end send Brass so proud, bass so bold Spin that vinyl, break the mold [Outro] Tip your hat and take a bow Past and future shaking now Swing still sweet, bass still deep That’s a promise we will keep. [End]
