Born To Swing

歌詞

Born to dance? No Born to prance? No Born to sing? No Well, you must be born to swing! Yeah I'm just an ordinary gal, that was born to swing Now all the gals on Park Avenue have a high-brow song to sing But I'll stay here on Lennox Avenue, where I was born to swing Now, some folks got plenty money, some folks got philosophy But I've got good old swing, and it's good enough for me So with a song on my lips, and rhythm in my hips I can't go wrong, having my fling 'Cause I was born to swing When I was a baby, maw used to sing lullabies and nursery themes But I never stopped crying, believe it or not Till maw starting swinging and gettin' real hot Old man river can roll along, pick cotton with Georgia reams But I'll roll my eyes and pick cute guys 'Cause I was born to swing Now, Cleopatra used the jive in Rome Got the same kind of jive right here at home The smoother, faster, for streamlined feet Hear the bold little tune and follow my lead I'm just an ordinary gal that was born to swing
