Swingin' Machine Songtext
von Mose Allison

Are you tired?
Are you uninspired?
If you′re bored
Or you just can't afford

To miss out on the scene
When I unveil my little swing machine

I worked years
Through sweat and tears
I made tests
Trying to find the best

You′ll know just what I mean
When I turn on my little swing machine


Sometimes it gets a little hard to start
Sometimes I think it's going to come apart
But when it's working just like a charm
It keeps me from going back to the farm

So look neat
But don′t you drag your feet
Just turn loose
Have a drink of juice

You′ll know just what I mean
When I turn on my little swing machine

When my machine ain't working right
I walk the floor can′t sleep at night
But when it really starts to percolate
I feel like I'm the master of my fate

Take a tip
Don′t be over hip
Just reach out
See what it's all about


You know it′s much more felt than seen
I'm talking about my little swing machine
