If Swing Goes, I Go Too

I'm all worried I'm upset

I just heard the worst news yet

Some old fogey wants to ration swing

Says your psyche won't survive



If you dance to that jump and jive

I can't help it if I shout and sing

They can take away my breakfast

They can take away my lunch



But there's just one thing

That they can't take

That's the rhythm of the swing band bunch

I like my music



And I like it high

If I try to shake it down

Then I just wanna die

What's this talk about waltzes



Taking the place of swing

I don't like waltzes

If they cancel my soap operas

I'll make it through



They can take away most anything

But if swing goes I go too

Some think rappin' is racy

It makes them lose their minds



Me, I'll stick with Basie

They can take away the polka

That dance I'll never do

They can take away most anything



Anything and everything

But if swing goes I go too
