Lyrics
I love to swing- it's the music that makes my heart sing
I love to groove- on the music that makes my heart skip a beat down the street
I love to dance to - Basie, Ellington, and Miller
And Benny Goodman's band- really was a killer diller
I love to swing- when they're playin that bop my mind doesn't stop
Diggin the groove- oh the music is something sweet
It's a wonderful world- you know I dig everything
But I... Love to swing- I love to swing
O love to dance to- Jimmie Lunceford and Artie Shaw
Fletcher Henderson or swing and sway with Sammy Kaye
I love to swing- it's the music that makes my heart sing
I love to groove- oh the music is something sweet
It's a wonderful world- you know I dig everything
But I... Love to swing- I love to swing
