Swing Basement

Текст песни

[Verse 1] Down the cobbled alleyway past the iron gate No one on the pavement knows it’s getting late Knock three times upon the wood, whisper to the guard Finding vintage paradise in the city yard Brass horns warming up, rhythm in the floor Step into the shadows, open up the door [Chorus] Swing it to the left, kick it to the right Dancing till the morning in the neon light Hidden in the city where the secret players meet In the swinging basement underneath the street Oh, let the clarinet wail, let the piano play We’ll be doing the Charleston till the break of day [Verse 2] Waiters in their waistcoats carry silver trays Spinning back the clock into older, golden days Saxophone is crying out a sultry melody Everyone is smiling, everybody wild and free Shoes are tapping, dresses swirling in the haze Lost inside the rhythm of a bygone maze [Chorus] Swing it to the left, kick it to the right Dancing till the morning in the neon light Hidden in the city where the secret players meet In the swinging basement underneath the street Oh, let the clarinet wail, let the piano play We’ll be doing the Charleston till the break of day [Bridge] Bass is walking steady, drums are hitting tight Nobody is leaving this underground delight When the midnight hour strikes, the tempo starts to rise Catch the electric magic burning in our eyes [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Swing it to the left, kick it to the right Dancing till the morning in the neon light Hidden in the city where the secret players meet In the swinging basement underneath the street Oh, let the clarinet wail, let the piano play We’ll be doing the Charleston till the break of day [Outro] Just a secret little world Hidden in the town Where the music never stops And nobody slows down Yeah, the jazz plays on [Fade Out]
