Music everywhere feet are pattin’ Putting tempo in old Manhattan Everybody is out high hattin’ Spreadin’ rhythm around
Everywhere you go trumpets are blarin’ Drums and saxophones rip and tearin’ Everybody you meet is rarin’ Spreadin’ rhythm around
Up in Harlem in every flat
They give it that zing Which according to one and all
Is what they call swing
Those who can’t afford silk and satin Dance with gigolos who are Latin Come from Yonkers the Bronx and Staten Spreadin’ rhythm around
