Swingtown Lyrics

Ooo oooohhhh
Ooo oooohhhh
Come on and dance, come on and dance
Let's make some romance
You know the night is fallin'
And the music's callin'
And we've got to get down to Swingtown

We've been workin' so hard
We've been workin' so hard
Come on baby
Come on baby let's dance
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on

Ooo oooohhhh
Ooo oooohhhh
Come on and dance, come on and dance
We may not get another chance
You know the night is fallin'
And the music's callin'
And we've got to get down to Swingtown

I have to add something here because no one has said anything about "Swingtown" yet. I think this was my very first favorite song ever. When I was really little my dad used to play the 45 for me and I would dance along to it. I remember spinning in a circle to watch my dress billow out.

Anyway, it's a great, fun song. Every time I happen upon it on the radio I listen to the whole thing. There isn't much meaning here, obviously; it's just a happy song about having good times. I love the immediately recognizable opening, the bassline, the groove, the instrumental section in the last third (with the kind of cheesy but fun drumming), and then the fade at the end.

Dooby bom da bom bom

totally wrong about the cheese drumming

@heyjude55 No shit... some of the best drumming, powerful, great use of drums/high hat cymbals. The drums makes this song!

A radio play favourite and mine too.

This is an upbeat, romantic song that reminds me of the U.S. after WW2 when the troops were coming home. I guess I connect the word swingtown to swing music which was prevalent during the 40's. The man seems to be trying to convince his girlfriend / wife that the hard work and deprivation of war is over, and now is the time to go party.
