Hot rhythm stimulates me,
Can't help but swing it, boy,
Swing it brother, swing!
Don't stop to diddle daddle,
Stop this foolish prattle,
Come on, swing me boys,
Swing it brother, swing!
Rarin' to go,
And there ain't nobody gonna hold me down!
Say listen, Bo,
Hurry up and send me, let me go to town!
Stop this diddle daddle
And this foolish prattle,
Come on, kill me boys,
Swing it brother, swing!
Deep rhythm can't deface me,
Hot rhythm stimulates me,
Can't help but swing it, boy,
Swing it brother, swing!
Don't stop to diddle daddle,
Stop this foolish prattle,
Come on, kill me boys,
Swing it brother, swing!
Rarin' to go,
And there ain't nobody gonna hold me down!
Say listen, Bo,
Hurry up and send me, let me go to town!
Stop this diddle daddle
And this foolish prattle,
Come on, knock me out,
Swing it brother, swing!
Swing,
Brother,
Swing!
