歌詞
Arab sheiks on the burning sands
Come into their harems and clap their hands
Said, "Come on, girls, are you ready to play?
Let's have a little more of that swingin' today"
Now, in the land of Fu Manchu
The girls all now do the Suzie-Q
Clap their hands in the center of the floor
Saying, "Ching, ching, chop-suey, swing some more"
Now, now
Now, geisha girls in old Japan
Wink behind their peacock fans
Since they learned to say, yeah
Let's swing it like American's swing-swing dance
Now, gyp-gyp-gypsy caravans have changed their mode
They truck down the Romany road
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle
Doin' the swing on the Gypsy fiddle
Now, now
Eas-eas-eastern wisemen know the story
Of the swing with Oriental glory
They stroke their beards and grin
Sayin', "Swing, little children, 'til the dawn comes in"
Now, geisha girls in old Japan
Wink behind their peacock fans
Since they learned to say, yeah
Let's swing it like American's swing swing dance
Now, now
Swing, after now, this morning
Yeah, that's right
Gyp-gypsy caravans have changed their mode
They truck down the Romany road
With their hi-de-hos, and their hey-hey-diddle
Doin' the swing on the Gypsy fiddle
Now
Yeah-yeah
