If Swing Goes, I Go Too

If Swing Goes I Go Too - Fred Astaire

I'm all worried I'm upset

I just heard the worst news yet

Some old fogey wants to ration swing

Says its bed for you're more round

They do that jump then with you goal

I can't help it if I shout and sing

They can take away my breakfast

They can take my lunch

But there's just one thing

That they can't take

That's the rhythm of the swing band bunch

I like my music

And I like it high

Say if they try to shake it down

Then I just wanna die

What this talk about waltzes

Taking the place of swing

I don't like waltzes

They don't mean a thing

They can take away my shoes

I only need a feel

They can take away most anything

But if swing goes I go too

They can take away my breakfast

They can take my lunch

But there's just one thing

That they can't take

That's the rhythm of the swing band bunch

I like my music

And I like it high

Say if they try to shake it down

Then I just wanna die

What's this talk about waltzes

Taking the place of swing

I don't like operas

It don't mean a thing

They can take away my women

It's has the truth

They can take away most anything

But if swing goes I go too
