Give me a song that's robust   Feeling the way I am   Any old band'll go bust   If it ain't got that jam      When a body needs a body   On the ballroom floor   Then a body asks a body   "What's a swing band for?"      Oh baby, I don't want you   To croon soft and mellow   Let me warn you in advance,   Sing me a swing song and let me dance      Oh baby, I don't want   Any moon, bright and yellow   You can have your sweet romance   Sing me a swing song and let me dance      Mr. Trombone, play some corn   I ain't carin' what notes   Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn   Brother, give me hot notes      Oh baby, I don't want   Any tune, on a cello   Give the rhythm men a chance   Sing me a swing song and let me dance      instrumental interlude      Let me warn you in advance,   Sing me a swing song and let me dance      You can have your sweet romance, just   Sing me a swing song and let me dance      Mr. Trombone, play some corn   I ain't carin' what notes   Mr. Trumpet, grab a horn   Brother, give me hot notes      Oh baby, I don't want   Any tune, on a cello   Give the rhythm men a chance   Sing me a swing song and let me dance      Ol' Chick Webb is beatin' it out   Makes me feel like I want to shout   All the boys are ready to prance, so   Sing me a swing song and let me dance
