Lyrics
Celebratin? Swing
Music & Lyrics by
Krisanthi Pappas
A: There?s a kind of music that always makes me move.
Snap on the two and four and start to groove.
It?s the music that I sing, when I?m celebratin? swing.
A: A syncopated rhythm that makes me tap my feet.
I wanna kick my legs and jump up to the beat.
It?s the music that I sing, when I?m celebratin? swing.
B: Listen to the hi-hat, feel that drive.
Makes any melody come alive,
Hold your partner, spin around
Can?t feel my feet even touch the ground.
It?s the music that I sing, when I?m celebratin? swing.
C: HORN LINE without vocal
A: SOLOS 4 X
B: Listen to the hi-hat, feel that drive.
Makes any melody come alive,
Hold your partner, spin around
Can?t feel my feet even touch the ground.
It?s the music that I sing, when I?m celebratin? swing.
C: Makes me, jump out of bed,
I wake up bobbing my head
Just tap my shoes on the floor,
Then strut myself out the door.
To the music that I sing, when I?m celebratin? swing.
