| Things are swingin', birds are singin' |
| And just what do you think those bells are doin' but ringin'? |
| 'Cause they have to ring to make this whole thing rhyme |
| And you know that things are swingin' all the time |
| If the news is what the blues is |
| Then we’d better just practice up on our ones and twoses |
| 'Cause where love is, you can always find a rhyme |
| And where love is, things are swingin' all the time |
| It’s as simple as, as a dimple |
| Just remember that |
| You can find some brand new swingin' ideas |
| Underneath your hat |
| So keep countin', keep it mountin' |
| Till you think it must be Ponce de Leon’s fountain |
| Yes, the fountain of youth, for those who know the score |
| Means that things will keep on swingin' for evermore |
| Like an ocean that’s in motion |
| Like the wind that’s blowin' the boat right in to shore |
| It’s the livin’est thing to live and breathe |
| And keep on laughin' up your sleeve |
| Things are swingin' and they’ll keep swingin' some more |
| Yes, things are swingin' and they’ll keep swingin' some more |
| Let’s keep on swingin' and swing right out the door |
