It's raining down sorrow
And nothing but bad news
You know I've had it up to here
Living with these bluesBut I won't let it get me down
It's not the only game in town
In my mind, I'm goin' to Swing StreetI'm a dreamer on a rough road
And I need to hear the music once again
When there's nothing but bad news
I've got a way to beat the blues
I close my eyes and I go to Swing StreetWe can dance there, there's a chance there
Of finding a little romance there
You don't know who you'll meet
When you're down on Swing StreetLose your blues in a minute
Cop a groove and you're in it
I'm tellin' you once, I'm tellin' you twice
Better take my adviceIf you're weepin' and you're wailin'
I've got a cure to fix exactly what is ailin'
Count to four and grab my hand
Say, I'll meet you by the band
You and I, we're goin' to Swing StreetGive yourself to the rhythm
And every wrong is forgiven
You may even lose the bluest of blues
Get back on your feetWhen your best friends turn to strangers
And one more workin' day
Don't seem worth all the changes
Just reach out and take my hand
And I'll meet you by the bandYou and I, we're goin' to Swing Street
Yes, you and I, we're going to go
To Swing Street, yeah
