I don't wanna knock the music called rock
But it's been around for a while
Life's like a ring, it's a circular thing
Now swing is back in style!

The rap songs they do, well I like a few
But most are just juvenile
After winter comes spring, so ring-a-ding-ding!
Swing is back in style!

Some folks may settle for heavy metal
I can dig it in small amounts
But it's time to get back to Ballin' the Jack.
We're gonna shindy to the Lindy and the Jersey Bounce!

Farewell rock n' roll, I'll take ol' Nat King Cole
He's in control of my dial
Yes, it's time to sing that swing is king
Swing is the thing that's happening!
So swing it, mac, cause swing is back in style!

As for that groove they call fusion, I've come to the conclusion
It's melodically kind of bland
What gets me jumpin' for joy is Stompin' at the Savoy,
So lay that rhythm on me, gimme Tommy Dorsey's band!

To heck with New Age, let's turn back the page
To music that makes me smile!
I kinda like Sting, but Sting's had his fling
It's time to bring back Basie and Bing!
So swing it, Mack, cause swing is back
Yeah, swing is back in style!
