Lyrics
"The Queen of Swing"
w/m by Kelli Grant, the Queen of Swing
1V
It's the Hottest joint in the town around
One drink min & you can hear the sounds
So grab a partner and let her fly.
Anyone hip can do the Friday Night Slide
Jumpin' & Jivin', can you dig the scene
it's the band of five & The Queen of Swing
B
So, Rock, Rock, Rock til you drop
And Bop - Bop ... Man you're really hot
Just, Spin & Spin, run away with him.
Dance too close & it's just alittle sin.
Everyone here is doing there thing
to the band of five & the Queen of Swing
2V
Tell your friends just where to go
to the juke joint jumping down on KoKoMo
Rockin' & Rollin' we're all doing fine
The band is swingin' in double time
It's the Queen of Swing & her band of 5
hot licks jamming can you dig the jive
3V
The Preacher Man say, it's the devils den
But that just means, he ain't never been
cause all we do is dance about
Hoop & holler, & Scream & shout
It's clear to me he ain't never seen
the band of five & the Queen of Swing.
