[INTRO – INSTRUMENTAL]
(Walking bass, brushed snare, brass hits, playful piano)
Ba-da-dap! Ba-da-dap!
Clap your hands now—here we go!
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Snow on the sidewalk, lights on the street
Every little rhythm got a holiday beat
Scarves and smiles everywhere I go
Cold in the air but the mood’s warm though
Storefront windows, red and green
Every bell ringing in swing sixteen
You can feel it coming, toe-tap time
Christmas is here and the stars all shine
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
There’s a sparkle in the laughter
And a bounce in every step
When the season starts a-swingin’
You don’t wanna catch your breath
⸻
[CHORUS]
We’re swingin’ into Christmas, oh what a sight
Dancin’ through December every single night
Trumpets shout and the saxophones sway
Feels like joy’s got something to say
We’re swingin’ into Christmas, hearts all aglow
Spin that floor nice and slow then fast—let go
From the first “hello” to the last “good night”
Christmas time feels just right
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Stockings are dancing right over the fire
Radio croonin’ with a big band choir
Cookies in the oven, laughter in the room
Moon in the sky singin’ “boom-ba-doom”
No rush, no worries, just holiday cheer
Every little moment feels better this year
Grab my hand, let the rhythm decide
Where we end up by the end of the night
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
Hear that piano start to shimmer
Hear that drummer swing it loose
When the horns all shout together
You got nothin’ left to lose
⸻
[CHORUS]
We’re swingin’ into Christmas, feel that groove
Every happy heart got nothin’ to prove
Spin around, let the good times play
This is how we holiday
We’re swingin’ into Christmas, room full of cheer
Every smile sayin’ “I’m glad you’re here”
From the laughter to the mistletoe
This season’s got a golden glow
⸻
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK – BIG BAND FEATURE]
(Brass call-and-response, sax solo, walking bass, crowd claps on 2 & 4)
Ba-dap-ba-dap!
Swing it now!
Yeah—hit it!
⸻
[BRIDGE]
If the world feels heavy, let it wait outside
There’s a little joy in the rhythm tonight
Kick back, spin ‘round, let the music say
Everything’s better in a swingin’ way
⸻
[CHORUS – FINAL]
We’re swingin’ into Christmas, bells all ring
Every little moment makes you wanna sing
From the shine of the lights to the way we sway
This is Christmas—come and play
We’re swingin’ into Christmas, old and new
Every happy sound says “me and you”
When the band hits hard and the night feels right
That’s Christmas time tonight
⸻
[OUTRO – TAG]
Swing it soft… swing it bright…
Merry Christmas—good night!
(Final brass hit)
