MAKE THAT MUSIC SWING
You can make me laugh, you can make me glum
Won't you come on everybody, come, come, come
But don't go playing that harmonium
Give me a crash of a cymbal, and that old bass drum
'Cos I want you to
Make that music swing, make that music swing
Put on your gospel shoes
And make those bells of Heaven ring
Make that music swing, make that music swing
Put on your gospel shoes
And make those bells of Heaven ring
Some say that love is calm but I say it bites
And I won't lie down, I'll shout and scream and fight
Hearts and flowers and melody strings
Well give me hard harmonies for the joy it brings
And before I go to take my rest
I want to inject a little zest
God is OK, God is king
And I want you to make that music swing
Make that music swing...
Some say that boy is cracked
Some say that boy is ill
But I can hear him laughing still
Well there's nothing so serious that it can't be fun
And we're coming to get you so you'd better run
And before I go to take my rest
I want to inject a little zest
God is OK, God is king
And I want you to make that music swing
Make that music swing...
Oh take your partner by the hand
There's a brand new craze throughout the land
Gonna make you move your feet
Hoppin' and boppin' to the gospel beat
Oh you've never heard anything
We're gonna make you dance and swing
Set the bells of Heaven to ring
We're gonna make the music swing
Make that music swing...
