Now They Call It Swing - Billie Holiday (比莉.荷莉戴)

Once they called it ragtime

And it had its fling

It's the same old syncopation

Now they call it swing

Then they played it jazz time

To a buck and wing

Once again it sweeped the nation

Now they call it swing

When singers used to sing

They would go hot cha

But with this modern thing

Now they go dru du du dra da da

Rhythm has its seasons

Summer fall and spring

But for seven silly reasons

Someone pulled the string

And they started dancing

Now they call it swing

Once they called it ragtime

And it had its fling

It's the same old syncopation

Now they call it swing

Then they played it jazz time

To a buck and wing

Once again it sweeped the nation

Now they call it swing

When singers used to sing

They would go hot cha

But with this modern thing

Now they go dru du du dra da da

Rhythm has its seasons

Summer fall and spring

But for seven silly reasons

Someone pulled the string

And they started dancing

Now they call it swing

Baby Now they call it swing
