You get a shiver in the dark

It's raining in the park but meantime

South of the river you stop and you hold everything
F C
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
Bb Dm Bb C
You feel alright when you hear that music ring
Dm C Bb A
You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Dm C Bb A
Coming in out of the rain to (you) hear the jazz go down
F C
Too much competition in other places
Bb Dm
But not too many horns can make that sound
(But not too many horns are blowing that sound)
Bb C
Way on downsouth
Bb C

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Dm C Bb
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and

Their platform soles

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
Dm C Bb A (A7)
And says at last just as the time bell rings
F C
Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home
Bb Dm Bb C
And he makes it fast with one more thing
Bb C
We are the sultans
Dm Dm C Bb C
We are the sultans of swing
