Track 11: SWING SOCIETY

Music and lyrics: Carrie Rambo

Vocals: Carrie Rambo (lead), Beth Kahlen, Stephanie Torres
Piano: Brian Ward
Bass: Dave Captein
Drums: Kurt Deutscher

Lyrics:

They are lizards, loungin' lizards
Baby, ain't got no place to be
They like a mambo, a three-piece combo
And a cocktail at quarter-to-three
They are nighthawks wearing pink socks
When the rest of the town is in bed
A winkin' 'hi' now, give you the eye; wow!
As that rhythm goes to your head

Chorus:
They are cool and swingin', wild but devine
Lazy, crazy, singing', hip and on time
Bluesters, redsters, don't-want-to-go-to-bedsters
Wacky, lucky Cuban-puffin' funsters: they are the one-sters
Give me a tonic and a lime...
I'd like to be in that Swing Society
I'd like to be in that Swing Society
I'd like to be in that Swing Society
I'd like to be in that Swing Society

Some go cattin' a mad-top-hattin'
They're the scene, they're the bomb, the hubbub
They go a skippin', a bob-hop-hippin'
From club to club to hot club
Shag and East Coast, Lindy, West Coast
Swingin out, swingin' fast, swingin' high
Until it's dawn and the lights go on
They'll be dancing 'til it's time to fly

(Chorus)

Give me tonic, a lemon, an olive, an onion, a cheryy, and a lime
