Times Past

You kids today! Stop scrollin’, put that phone down! It’s time to kick up your heels! I’ll tell you what it was like back in my day!

[Verse 1]
Times past we couldn’t wait for friday nite.
We’re dressed to impress and feeling so right.
Heart’s a-pumpin’ thinkin’ of those horns and drums.
Gotta step up now before life’s number’s done.

[Pre-Chorus]
Dance floor was callin’, the rhythm’s hot.
Can’t just stand here, we’re ready to bop.
One little question swingin’ on my tongue.

[Chorus]
Hey sugar won’t you jitterbug with me.
Grab my hand, let’s cut a rug, set our spirits free.
Twirl and spin, get to know ya right.
Dance floor’s hopping all through the night.
Come on baby, don’t be shy.
Let’s break this ice tonight.

[Verse 2]
Your smile’s flashin’ like a trumpet blast.
Feet are itchin’ for that Lindy flash.
You can lead me gentle, or flip me high.
Whisper sweetness as we fly. (hey!)

[Instrumental Break]
[Short instrumental section.]

[Pre-Chorus]
Now we’re laughin’, breathin’ fast and sweet.
I’m learnin’ your story with every beat.
What’s your name honey. Where you from.
You swingin’ cat we’ve just begun.

[Chorus]
Hey sugar won’t you jitterbug with me?
Grab my hand, let’s cut a rug, set our spirits free.
Twirl and spin, get to know ya right.
Dance floor’s hopping all through the night.
Come on baby, don’t be shy.
Let’s break this ice tonight.

[Last Chorus]
Hey sugar won’t you jitterbug with me?
Grab my hand, let’s cut a rug, set our spirits free.
Twirl and spin, get to know ya right.
Dance floor’s hopping all through the night.
Come on baby, don’t be shy.
Let’s break this ice tonight.

You kids today.
