MUSIC BY EDDIE ARKIN



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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



Im 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 youre 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 youre weepin' and youre wailin'

Ive 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 dont 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, were going to go to Swing Street

YEAH!
