There's a place I know called Swing Street
Where you can really feel the heartbeat
After working hard 'til sundown
The city comes alive
High up, low down, down on Swing Street
Gypsy and jazzmen are tickling my feet
Jive and music, love and money
There's enough to get you high
Sidewalk preachers are hustling Bibles
Longing for one more revival
There's a truth in all these dreamers
If you read between the lines
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Morning comes, that alarm clock screaming
Coat and tie and wheeling dealing
I wish that I could be back on Swing Street
Watching life roll by
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street tonight
Everyone looks for romance
Living out of magazines
But there's still one place
Where you don't have to fake it
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
It's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
It's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
It's all right watching the world come together
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Where you can really feel the heartbeat
After working hard 'til sundown
The city comes alive
High up, low down, down on Swing Street
Gypsy and jazzmen are tickling my feet
Jive and music, love and money
There's enough to get you high
Sidewalk preachers are hustling Bibles
Longing for one more revival
There's a truth in all these dreamers
If you read between the lines
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
Morning comes, that alarm clock screaming
Coat and tie and wheeling dealing
I wish that I could be back on Swing Street
Watching life roll by
Well, it's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
Take your chances and pull on the lever
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street tonight
Everyone looks for romance

But there's still one place
Where you don't have to fake it
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
It's all right watching the world come together

Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street
It's all right watching the world come together
A real life movie that goes on forever
It's all right watching the world come together
Down on Swing Street
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
Well, it's all right
Down on Swing Street tonight
