![Now They Call It Swing [Take 1] - Billie Holiday](/uploads/posts/2024-04/209012.png)
[Verse 1]
Once they called it ragtime
And it had its fling
It's the same old syncopation
Now they call it swing
[Verse 2]
Then they played it jazz time
To a buck-and-wing
Once again it sweeps the nation
Now they call it swing
[Bridge]
When singers used to sing
They would go, "Hot-cha!"
But with this modern thing
Now they go, "Dri-di-dit-ti dra-da-dat"
[Verse 3]
Rhythm has its seasons
Summer, fall and spring
But for seven silly reasons
Someone pulled a 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
[Verse 2]
Then they played it jazz time
To a buck-and-wing
Once again it sweeps the nation
Now they call it swing
[Bridge]
When singers used to sing
They would go, "Hot-cha!"
But with this modern thing
Now they go, "Dri-di-dit-ti dra-da-dat"
[Verse 3]
Rhythm has its seasons
Summer, fall and spring
But for seven silly reasons
Someone pulled a string
And they started dancing
Now they call it swing
