Lyrics
Intro
Hey baby!
Clap your hands, come on, let’s swing!
Uh-huh, yeah-yeah, ha!
Verse 1
I see you gliding in your ruby shoes,
Smiling like you’ve got nothing to lose.
The piano’s laughing, hear it play,
Every note a tease, every chord a sway.
Grab my hand, don’t let it go,
The organ hums, and the feeling grows.
Your eyes are sparkling, baby, can’t you see?
This rhythm’s ours, just you and me.
Pre-Chorus / Call & Response
I say “Step close!” you say “Oh yeah!”
I say “Spin around!” you say “Ha-ha!”
We’re floating on this melody, don’t let it end,
Baby, swing with me, my rhythm, my friend.
Chorus
Midnight swing, we can’t go wrong,
Clap your hands, sing along.
Heartbeats dancing to the piano keys,
Swingin’ tonight, baby, just you and me!
Verse 2
The horns are wailing, the lights are low,
I’m ticklin’ the keys, and the groove will show.
Every laugh a note, every glance a song,
In this funky blues, we both belong.
Bridge
Come on baby, shake it, slide,
We’re gliding on the groove, nowhere to hide!
Oh yeah, ha-ha, the night’s on fire,
Play that organ, lift me higher!
Final Chorus
Midnight swing, we can’t go wrong,
Clap your hands, sing along.
Heartbeats dancing to the piano keys,
Swingin’ tonight, baby, just you and me!
Outro
Yeah! Keep that rhythm alive, uh-huh, ha!
Midnight swing, baby, we thrive!
