The Sound Of Swing (Instrumental)

Hey kids (What?)
Do you know what time it is? (What time is it?)
It's Ragtime (What time is it?)
It's Ragtime (Ragtime!)
But they call it Swing

Ooh, and all the children say
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
And all the children say

Alakazam, sish boom bam
The fish jumped out of the frying pan
And said, "Listen here, you no-good man
I can't be part of your dinner plans
Well, I was swimming in a big old sea

My daddy so graciously gave to me
And a country fried fillet with greens
Just ain't what I was meant to be"
The fisherman watched in shock and doubt
As the fish got up and walked on out

Before he left, he turned around and said
"You just can't steal the sound, the sound of swing"

Ooh na-na, it makes me want to dance
Ooh na-na, it puts me in a trance
Ooh na-na, it makes me clap my hands
Ooh na-na, and the sound of swing

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na

Let me ride, let me fly
Let my wings touch the sky
I belong with the song
Hear me sing it far and wide
When I make my way back down
Plant my feet firm on the ground
Everybody gather 'round
And watch me make the sound
The beautiful sound of swing

Ooh na-na, it makes me want to dance
Ooh na-na, it puts me in a trance
Ooh na-na, it makes me clap my hands
Ooh na-na, woah, ooh-woah

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na

Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba
The music goes boom-boom, ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-da-ba (Woah)
I can't help myself

Ooh na-na, it makes me want to dance
Ooh na-na, it puts me in a trance (Yeah, the children say)
Ooh na-na, it makes me clap my hands
Ooh na-na, and the sound of swing

For Louis Armstrong (Ooh na-na)
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
For Fletcher Henderson (Ooh na-na)
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na
For Johnny Redfin, Jimmy New
For Joaquin Oliver
I got to hand it to you
For the sound of swing
