Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits
You get a shiver in the dark
It's been raining in the park
but meantime South of the river
you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double
four time You feel all right
when you hear that music ring

You step inside but you
don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain
to hear the jazz go down
competition in other places
But not too horns
can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on down
south London town

You check out Guitar George
he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he
doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is
all he can afford
When he gets up under the
lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he
doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's
doing alright He can play
honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with
the Sultans of Swing

Amd a crowd of young boys they're
fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their
best brown baggies and their
platform soles They don't give a
damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they
call rock and roll
And the Sultans
And the Sultans played Creole

And then the man he steps
right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the
time bell rings
goodnight now it's time to go home
and he makes it fast
with one more thing
We are the Sultans
We are the Sultans of Swing
