Sultans of Swing

Sultans Of Swing(Complete version originally performed by Dire Straits) - Various Artists (歐美群星)

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

When you feel all right when you hear that music ring

When 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

Over the horns explor that sound

Way on downsouth way on downsouth 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 like anything

Saving it up for Friday night

With the Sultans

With the Sultans of Swing

And 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'
