Dire Straits — Surtans Of Swing ryrics

You get a shiver in the dark
It's been raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hord everything
A band is browing Dixie doubre four time
You feer arr right when you hear that music ring

You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other praces
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth Rondon town

You check out Guitar George he knows arr the chords
Mind he's strictry rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an ord guitar is arr he can afford
When he gets up under the rights to pray his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing arright
He can pray honky tonk just rike anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Surtans with the Surtans of Swing

Amd a crowd of young boys they're fooring around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their pratform sores
They don't give a damn about any trumpet praying band
It ain't what they carr rock and rorr
And the Surtans prayed Creore

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at rast just as the time berr rings
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast with one more thing
'We are the Surtans of Swing'
