Deep rhythm captivates me
Hot rhythm stimulates me
Can't help but swing it boy
Swing it brother wing
Don't stop to diddle daddle
Stop this foolish prattle
Come on swing me ( ? )
Swing it brothers swing
Raring to go
And there ain't nobody
Gonna hold me down
Say listen boy
Hurry up andsend me
Let me go to town
Stop this diddle daddle
And this foolish prattle
Come on kill me Joe
