If Swing Goes, I Go Too Composer(s): Fred Astaire; Harry Warren Performer(s): Fred Astaire and multiple other artists
Im all worried Im upset I just heard the worst news yet Some old fogey wants to ration swing Says your psyche wont survive If you dance to that jump and jive I cant help it if I shout and sing They can take away my breakfast They can take away my lunch But theres just one thing That they cant take Thats the rhythm of the swing band bunch I like my music And I like it high If I try to shake it down Then I just wanna die Whats this talk about waltzes Taking the place of swing I dont like waltzes If they cancel my soap operas Ill make it through They can take away most anything But if swing goes I go too Some think rappin is racy It makes them lose their minds Me, Ill stick with Basie They can take away the polka That dance Ill never do They can take away most anything Anything and everything But if swing goes I go too
