[vocal improvisation recommended]
[1960’s crooner sexy duet vocals]
Oh, we’re glidin’ in the city lights
Feet tappin’, swingin’ through the night
Barefoot on the avenue tonight
Brass is blarin’, everything feels right
[Verse 1]
Well, I was strollin’ down the avenue
Not a soul in sight, just thinkin’ of you [mmm!]
Then you twirled in, hat tipped just right
Made me laugh and forget the night
With a sparkle in your eye, and a tap of your heel
You got me swingin’ faster than a spinning wheel
No foolin’ now, I’m all in tonight
So step close, sugar, don’t be shy
We’ll dance past the moon up in the sky
Your laugh’s a melody I can’t ignore
Baby, we’ll swing till they beg for more
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re glidin’ in the city lights
Feet tappin’, swingin’ through the night
Barefoot on the avenue tonight
Brass is blarin’, everything feels right
When you grin, I’m floatin’ high
Darlin’, you got that magic tonight
Yeah, I’m swingin’, swingin’ all the way
Life’s a song, and we’re here to play
[Verse 2]
Rain could pour and the winds could blow
But with you, honey, I’m ready to go
We’ll twist and turn down every street
Kickin’ up dust with tap-tap feet
I’d chase the sun, or the stars above
Do a thousand laughs, if it’s you I love
With you, sugar, it’s all pure delight
So drop your doubts, honey, throw ‘em away
I’ll catch ‘em and make a bouquet
From the first time you winked at me
I knew this love was meant to be
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re glidin’ in the city lights
Feet tappin’, swingin’ through the night
Barefoot on the avenue tonight
Trumpets blowin’, everything feels right
When you laugh, I’m on cloud nine
Darlin’, you got that magic tonight
Yeah, I’m swingin’, swingin’ all the way
Life’s a gamble, and we’ll play
[Bridge ]
Life’s a twist, a turn, a crazy spin
But with you, honey, I always win
We’ll toast the nights, we’ll chase the day
Laugh at the troubles in our own way
We’re still young, still bold, still free
Got a love like a jubilee
So come on, darling, take my hand
We’ll swing and sway across this land
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Yeah, we’re glidin’ in the city lights
Feet tappin’, swingin’ through the night
Barefoot on the avenue tonight
The band’s swingin’ loud, everything’s right
Darlin’, you got that magic tonight
And I’m swingin’, swingin’ all the way
Oh, sugar, you got that magic tonight
Life’s a song, so let’s playyyy!
Life’s a song, so let’s playyyy
Life’s a song, so let’s playyyyyyyyyy
