It's raining down sorrow and nothing but bad news
   You know I've had it up to here living with these blues
   But I won't let it get me down, it's not the only game in town
   In my mind, I'm goin' to Swing Street
  
   I'm a dreamer on a rough road
   And I need to hear the music once again
   When there's nothing but bad news, I've got a way to beat the blues
   I close my eyes, and I go to Swing Street
  
   We can dance there, there's a chance there
   Of finding a little romance there
   You don't know who you'll meet
   When you're down on Swing Street
  
   Lose your blues in a minute
   Cop a groove and you're in it
   I'm tellin' you once, I'm tellin' you twice
   Better take my advice
  
   If you're weepin' and you're wailin'
   I've got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin,
   Count to four and grab my hand say I'll meet you by the band
   You and I , we're goin' to Swing Street
  
   Give yourself to the rhythm
   And every wrong is forgiven
   You may even lose the bluest of blues
   Get back on your feet
  
   When your best friends turn to strangers
   And one more workin' day don't seem worth all the changes
   Just reach out and take my hand and I'll meet you by the band
   You and I, we're goin' to Swing Street
   Yes you and I, we're going to go to Swing Street
   YEAH!
