[03:54.00]I'm all worried I'm upset
[03:54.00]I just heard the worst news yet
[03:54.00]Some old fogey wants to ration swing
[03:54.00]Says your psyche won't survive
[03:54.00]If you dance to that jump and jive
[03:54.00]I can't help it if I shout and sing
[03:54.00]They can take away my breakfast
[03:54.00]They can take away my lunch
[03:54.00]But there's just one thing
[03:54.00]That they can't take
[03:54.00]That's the rhythm of the swing band bunch
[03:54.00]I like my music
[03:54.00]And I like it high
[03:54.00]If I try to shake it down
[03:54.00]Then I just wanna die
[03:54.00]What's this talk about waltzes
[03:54.00]Taking the place of swing
[03:54.00]I don't like waltzes
[03:54.00]If they cancel my soap operas
[03:54.00]I'll make it through
[03:54.00]They can take away most anything
[03:54.00]But if swing goes I go too
[03:54.00]Some think rappin' is racy
[03:54.00]It makes them lose their minds
[03:54.00]Me, I'll stick with Basie
[03:54.00]They can take away the polka
[03:54.00]That dance I'll never do
[03:54.00]They can take away most anything
[03:54.00]Anything and everything
[03:54.00]But if swing goes I go too
