Kings of Swing Songtext
von Cherry Poppin’ Daddies

"Chaps and Kittens
Lads and Lasses
And all you punks who flunked your ballroom dance classes
Let′s welcome to the bandstand
The raddest dads in your mother's Netherlands
You know ′em
They roll 'em
So cajole 'em
Stone legends
Cherry Poppin′ Daddies

I′m from a place where the best of our days are through Woo Woo
Skies are all grey I'm at home where the jazz is blue
Woo Woo
Factory windows smashed in the heart of town
Woo Woo
I′m from a place that no longer exists
It's where I got my crown


Givin′ up on havin' tomorrow-ho
Kings of swing
Everybody out on the floor say hey
Kings of swing
Share the romance all in your head whoa
Kings of swing
Stomp a number rattle the floor say hey
Jump Up
Swing Out
Kings of Swing
Swing Kings of Swing
Woo

We were the Goombah kids and we played with style
Ahh Ahh
Worked with our hands by day but at night we′d file
Ahh Ahh
Into a spot concealed by a strip mall door
Ooh ooh
Down to a punk rock rose colored room
We made 1944

Givin' up on havin' tomorrow-ho
Kings of swing
Everybody out on the floor say hey
Kings of swing
Share the romance all in your head whoa
Kings of swing
Stomp a number rattle the floor say hey
Jump Up
Swing Out
Kings of Swing

Kings of swing x6


Givin′ up on havin′ tomorrow-ho
Kings of swing
Everybody out on the floor say hey
Kings of swing
Share the romance all in your head whoa
Kings of swing
Stomp a number rattle the floor say hey
Jump Up
Swing Out

Kings of Swing
Swing
Kings of Swing
Woo x4

Gents and flappers
Backbeat clappers
Swells from hell who rolled in dapper
Get hoppin' to the showstoppers
Those festive western juice poppers
Salty singin′
Sultry swingin'
Give a big ′un
Let 'em hear ya
Cherry Poppin′ Daddies"
