I ADORE swing music. I can't get enough of it. Currently my favorite song is either Zoot Suit Riot by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, or Man with the Hex, by the Atomic Fireballs.
Lyrics for Zoot Suit Riot:
Who's that whisperin' in the trees?
It's two sailors and they're on leave
Pipes and chains and swingin' hands
Who's your daddy? Yes I am
Fat cat came to play
Now he can't run fast enough
You'd best stay away
When the pushers come to shove
Zoot suit riot
throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Zoot suit riot
throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Blow Daddy!
A whipped up jitterbuggin' brown eyed man
A stray cat frontin' up an eight-piece band
Cut me Sammy and you'll understand
In my veins hot music ran
You got me in a sway
and I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
(random gibberish)
Oh you got me in a sway
and I want to swing you done
Now you sailors know
Where your women come for love
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
Zoot suit riot
Throw back a bottle of beer
Zoot suit riot
Pull a comb through your coal black hair
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
You're in a Zoot suit riot
Lyrics for Man with the Hex:
You remind of a man.
(What man?)
Oh, the man with the power.
(What power?)
Oh, the power of voodoo
(Who do?)
Oh, you do, you do

You remind of a man.
(What man?)

(Who do?)
Yeah, you do, you do
(Do what?)
Uh, we could take 'em out of this rex,
Save us from the man with the hex.
Save us from his evil course,
It's gonna get bad, yeah, it's gonna get worse.
Uh, hocus pocus alakazaam,
Save us from that evil man,
With hairy legs and heavy feet,
He cracks up, baby, as he creeks.
You remind of a man.
(What man?)
Yeah, the man with the power.

Oh, the power of voodoo
(Who do?)

Save us, save us
(Save us, save us)
We can take 'em out of this rex,
Save us from the man with hex,
With bogy eyes and a bogy egg,
Save us from the man with hex.
Oh, save us, save us
(Save us, save us)
Save us, save us
(Save us, save us)
Save us, save us
(Save us, save us)
Save us, save us
Save us from the man with hex
