Je suis swing

The black music and hot jazz
Are already old machines.
Now to be on point
You need swing.
Swing is not a melody
Swing is not a disease
But as soon as you like it
It grabs you and doesn't let go.

I'm swing, I'm swing
Da dou da dou da dou da dou yeah
I'm swing, oh I'm swing.
It's crazy, it's crazy how it can exhilarate.
When I sing a love song
I spice it up with a bunch of little tricks around
I'm swing, I'm swing
Za zou za zou it's nice as can be.

In order to sing at the Opera
I went to see the director
I wanted to sing Traviata
In D major.
He first asked me:
"Are you a light tenor
Singing bass or baritone?"
I replied: "Ah! But no!

I'm swing, I'm swing
Da dou da dou da dou da dou
I'm swing, oh I'm swing.
It's crazy, it's crazy
How it can exhilarate me.
When I sing a little refrain
I scare the janitor and the neighbors
I'm swing, I'm swing
Da dou da dou I'm happy as can be.

I have a mistress, Beatrice
I'm the father of her child,
With Simone I have two sons
In no time.
Last month with Zouzou
I had four children at once.
It's not like I do it on purpose
It's just, what can you do...

{Chorus}
I'm swing, I'm swing
Da dou da dou da dou da dou yeah
I'm swing, oh I'm swing.
It's crazy, it's crazy
How it can exhilarate me.
A spirit revealed to me
It's the rhythm that makes me go wild.
Wow, I'm swing, I'm swing
Da dou da dou da dou
I'm having a blast.
