Friday Night Skiffle Swing

[Verse] Once there was a story 'bout a kid and his ukulele Played on the corner for the pennies of the passersby Sang a couple lines and a song about a railroad lady That one night The right guy was walkin' by [Pre-Chorus] Said "Kid I've got a little place out on the East End Me and a couple friends We play on Friday nights We could use a little pluck like you and your ukulele What do you say Kid? Do you wanna try?" [Chorus] Skiffle Skiffle Cheap strings and worn-out shoes Skiffle Skiffle Three chords singin' out the blues Skiffle Skiffle If you feel it, you know it's right Come and see us Friday night [Verse 2] Fifteen years of buskin' on the streets of Soho Thinkin' 'bout the good old days and where they all went wrong Now I'm in a band with my buddy and his ukulele We just got a couple old favorites that we play along [Pre-Chorus] We play "Rock Island Line" and "Tom Dooley" We play "Freight Train " "Last Train to San Fernando" "Midnight Special " and "Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O" If you don't know This is how it goes [Chorus] Skiffle! (Skiffle!) Skiffle! (Skiffle!) Do a little skiffle now Skiffle! (Skiffle!) Skiffle! (Skiffle!) We don't know how, but we know how Skiffle Skiffle If you wanna feel alive Come and see us Friday night
