swing street

it's raining down sorrow

and nothing bad news

you know i've had it up to here living with these blues

but i won't let it get me down

it's not the only game in town

in my mind

i'm goin' to swing street

i'm a dreamer on a rough road

and i need to hear the music once again

when there's nothing but bad news

i've got a way to beat the blues

i close my eyes

and i go to swing street

you can dance there

there's a chance there

of finding a little romance there

you don't know who you'll meet

when you're down on swing street

lose your blues in a minute

cop a groove and you're in it

i'm tellin' you once

i'm tellin' you twice

better take my advice

if you're weepin' and you're wailin'

i've got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin

count to four and grab my hand say i'll meet

you by the band

you and i

we're goin' to swing street

give yourself to the rhythm

and every wrong is forgiven

you may even lose the bluest of blues

get back on your feet

when your best friends turn to strangers

and one more workin' day don't seem worth

all the changes

just reach out and take my hand and i'll meet

you by the band

you and i

we're goin' to swing street

yes you and i

we're going to go to swing street
