Velvet Door Swing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Midnight strikes on a cobblestone street Slip through the alley, check the password twice Heavy brass door opens up to the beat Velvet and whiskey, roll of the dice Corner booth sitting with a crystal glass Saxophone wailing, letting off steam Catching every glance as the dancers pass Living for the hour in a velvet dream [Chorus] Oh, step inside the speakeasy night Spill the moonshine under amber light Trombone laughing, kick up your heels Spinning on the floor, that's the way it feels Swing high, swing low, let the rhythm blow Nobody's leaving till the morning glow! [Verse 2] Piano player pounding on the eighty-eight keys Pinstripe suit snapping to the bassline groove Trumpet soaring high over sweet harmonies Not a single body that can fail to move Pass the wooden flask to your partner's hand Shouting out the chorus while the cymbals ring Finest little secret in the whole damn land Ain't nobody caring what tomorrow brings [Chorus] Oh, step inside the speakeasy night Spill the moonshine under amber light Trombone laughing, kick up your heels Spinning on the floor, that's the way it feels Swing high, swing low, let the rhythm blow Nobody's leaving till the morning glow! [Bridge] [Solo: Upright Bass and Clarinet] Tap shoes clatter on the hardwood floor Barkeep sliding another round Give me four more bars and a whole lot more Of that high-society underground! [Chorus] Oh, step inside the speakeasy night Spill the moonshine under amber light Trombone laughing, kick up your heels Spinning on the floor, that's the way it feels Swing high, swing low, let the rhythm blow Nobody's leaving till the morning glow! [Outro] Yeah, the morning glow! One last rimshot, blow that horn! Speakeasy night till the day is born! [Big Swing Stinger Finish]
