Swing Is Back in Style Songtext
von Michael Feinstein

I don′t want to knock the music called
Rock, but it's been around for a while
And life is like a ring, it′s a circular thing
Now swing is back in style
The rap songs they do, well, I like a few
Some are just juvenile
After winter comes spring, so ring-a-ding-ding
Swing is back in style
Some folks may settle for heavy metal
I can dig it in small amounts
But it's time to get back to the ball and the jack
We're gonna shindie to the Lindy and the Jersey Bounce
Farewell rock and roll, I′ll take old Nat King Cole
He′s in control of my style


Yes, it's time to sing that swing is king
Swing is the thing that′s happening
So swing it, Mac, 'cause swing is back in style
As for that groove they call fusion, I′ve come to
The conclusion, it's melodically kind of bland
What gets me jumping for joy is stomping at the Savoy
So lay that rhythm on me, give me Tommy Dorsey′s band
To heck with new age, let's turn back
The page to music that makes me smile
I kind of like Sting, but Sting's had a fling
Yeah, it′s time to bring back Basie and Bing
So swing it, Jack
′Cause swing is back
Yeah, swing is back in style
